As a kid, my only memories of wetting myself are from when I fell asleep, either in bed or in the car - it pretty much never happened when I was awake. I wore diapers to bed without complaint but I used to strenuously object to wearing diapers in the car, because I thought people would know, and it would turn into a debate... how long are we going to be in the car? What time are we coming home? Although wearing diapers was not fool-proof, either. I recall once being in church really late - I think it was a midnight mass around Christmas, and I had to have a diaper on because of the time and the hour-long drive home - it was guaranteed that I'd fall asleep. In the middle of the service in the middle of a packed pew, I told my mom I needed to go pee, and she whispered "Use your diaper." Well, I did as I was told... and for whatever reason, it leaked and soaked my suit pants around the back of my thighs. I ended up getting changed into my pajamas in the bathroom after the service was over and then getting dragged through the throng at the front of the church, worried that my diaper was visible under my PJ's.
