I'm glad somebody mentioned that! That's the real bit that stuck in my mind! Talk about over analyse........I spent more time than I should have thinking about this.
Of course, being that analytical genius that I am, I came up with a theory. Obviously any ideas are just fun guesswork, but my theory is:
:Young Marcus is currently going through potty training, albeit a little bit later than some.
:He has always worn cloth diapers, but is now going diaperless for longer periods at home.
:However, he still can't be counted on to stay dry indefinitely, so he wears a disposable or Goodnight when out, hence the mention of "Special Underpants." He isn't wearing a cloth diaper like he used too, but nor is he wearing "Big Boy Pants" either. But he knows if he does wet himself it's okay in those pants.
All pure and utter guesswork of course, and no doubt I've twisted reality to suit my own ideas, but it is possible!
Other conspiracy theories welcome!
