[Puddle 115]

Anyone else ever read this book as a kid and have three particular stories hit harder than they should

Must admit I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it.   Just Googled it now, first hit was a review page and first review mentions the short story "Piddler on the roof".

Sounds like a hit.

Ringing Wet, Little Squirt, and Piddler On The Roof. Those were the three stories that shook me to my core when I was 9 or so. I wanted to read them over and over. But I was afraid that anyone who saw me reading would notice that I always seemed to be on those same stories, and realise I was a freak who liked pee too much. I had no idea what a kink was, or what sexual arousal was. I just knew I liked pee ‘too much’, and it made me feel dirty. So, to hide from even myself that I wanted to read those stories over and over, I read the whole book over and over.

I’m going to upload them to this site. Being written for children, they’re a bit fast-paced to enjoy as an adult, but some of you might appreciate them- or at least appreciate the effect they would’ve had on me the first time.

Edit: If I can figure out where and how to upload them. I can’t be bothered to type them all out, and taking photos of the pages goes over the file limit.
