Judy opened a set of double doors that led to a platform overlooking the facility gym.
"This is the group you'll be joining," she said, indicating the twenty or thirty adults crawling around on the floor below us. "This is their "Open Play" period."
A few of the scuttling figures were completely naked, but most looked to be wearing adult diapers. They weren't making any noise except for the rustle of skin against diaper and the thud of flesh against floor.
"Why," I began, trying to keep an open mind. "Why do some of them not have diapers?"

"Oh," I said.
"So," she said, tilting her head to one side. "Will you be paying the diaper fee, or going au naturale?

I'm certain this reveals more about my own prejudices than anything else, but of all of your stories I've ever read, this disturbs me the most.
Kudos.
