"The Principal's Not-So-Secret, Diaper-Clad Identity"

Seymour Skinner, respectable principal of Springfield Elementary, woke up with a start. The wet, telltale feeling under his pajamas could mean only one thing: it had happened again. Panic set in as he threw off the blankets, trying to assess the damage. The digital clock on his nightstand read 5:47 AM—13 minutes before the dreaded alarm and 13 minutes before his mother’s routine check-in on her "widdle boy."

As if on cue, Agnes Skinner barged through the door, smelling faintly of talcum powder and wielding a stack of fresh bed linens like a shield.

"Mother, please, I can handle this!" Seymour protested, fumbling to cover the evidence.

Agnes squinted, her suspicion-laden eyebrows arching to new heights. "Hmph. A fine mess you've made, Seymour. A fine mess. Is this a consequence of the spaghetti dinner I told you not to have? Gluten aptly disrupts the bladder of babies like you."

Seymour sighed, trying to muster the last remnants of his authoritative principal voice. "Mother, I am an adult man. Adults—"

"—don’t wet the bed!" she interjected, her tone dripping with unmistakable authority. She laid out a fresh set of “emergency” pajamas—ones festooned with little choo-choo trains that had been stashed away since the early '60s.

"Mother, these pajamas... really?" Seymour stared at them in bewilderment.

"'Really' is the operative word here, Seymour," she said, folding her arms. "You’ve forced my hand. Going forward, it’s diapers at night until you prove otherwise."

His eyes widened. "Mother, you can't be serious."

"Oh, but I am," she cackled with a gleam of thoroughly misplaced maternal pride. "And since you'll be using diapers, I've also arranged a bottle-feeding schedule. No more of those pesky sippy cups for you!"

"Mother, the students could never know about this," Seymour whimpered before realizing the futility of arguing. "Imagine the scandal!"

"The students?" Agnes snorted. "Boy, if you’re worried about the students finding out, then stop behaving like one! And speaking of which..." She reached behind her, producing an oversized bib with ‘Mommy’s Little Man’ embroidered in garish lettering.

Seymour could feel his authoritative aura slip away like sand through an hourglass. "Mother, please—"

"Shush, Baby Seymour," Agnes chided, tying the bib around his neck with the delicate care of someone decorating a beloved Christmas tree. "Mommy knows best."

And thus, Seymour Skinner, the austere principal famed for his discipline and order, was reduced to a helpless bundle of adult-sized baby paraphernalia, all orchestrated by the unstoppable force that was Agnes Skinner.

This new morning routine would undoubtedly put a smile on Superintendent Chalmers’ face, provided he ever discovered it. But for now, Seymour could only sigh, embrace the plushiness of his oversized diaper, and pray for an uneventful school day where his mother’s babying revelations never saw the light of the faculty lounge.
