Open the floodgates.
I don't remember the embarrassment at the time. I was young. About 6 or 7 at a guess, but that is a long time ago now and I don't remember precisely.

What I do remember is that it was music class. The class room had been rearranged and we each stood or sat with an instrument before us.

I remember that I had been given a note to play. It was from a xylophone that could be dismantled so each child could play one note in turn.

I also remember needing a piss. Really needing a piss, but being too shy to say anything before our beautiful rendition of a tune that I don't quite remember.

I vaguely remember not really hearing the other kids play their sections.

I vaguely remember only just noticing the silence that descended as the room turned to stare at me.

I vaguely remember the distant voice repeating my name, imploring me to hit my note so we could finish the piece.

I vaguely remember the warm, damp feeling on my legs as I lost my battle against the strain in my bladder, and the floodgates finally opened.

I vaguely remember the kids in front of me clambering to get out of the way, as the steaming yellow stream meandered along the floor away from my soggy shoes.

I vaguely remember the itchy brown trousers that the teacher produced as a replacement for my own, urine soaked ones.

And I clearly remember cringing each and every time I've been reminded of this by pretty much everyone I knew at the time.

Bastards.

there was a lad at my infant school
that wet himself on the 1st day

He was known as soggy bum, or Soggy right up to secondary school

If your out there hi Robert Soggy ;)

Thankfully
I wasn't known as Soggy or anything else as a result.

The memory seems almost dreamlike now, but I'm assured it really happened, frequently.

That almost reads like some perverse form of poetry
I like. So beautifully told.
