Back when I was in 6th grade, me, my classmates, and pretty much every other six grader went to a science camp. When everyone got there, everyone would be assigned “cabins” (which were more like regular squared one story buildings) and would be given bunk beds to leave their belongings near and sleep on. 

The trip went pretty smoothly, we did activities, I had fun, all was going pretty well. The problem was, I would *ALWAYS* carry a tall thermos full of water with me at all times, which I would drink throughout the day, every day of the week of science camp, which eventually backfired. Sometime during the week (I don’t remember the day), it was nighttime and all activities were finished, so it was time for everyone to go to sleep and I was physically exhausted. After I got into my pajamas, I was *DONE* for the night; I didn’t wanna do anything else. Issue was, just like every other day, I was chugging water for the majority of it. Despite that, I decided to lay down and go to sleep anyways, being too tired to go to the bathroom that was across the hall. BIG MISTAKE! A few hours later, I would wake up in the middle of the night (or very early morning, like 3 AM or so) and was FREEZING. My entire body was wet and shivering, so I eventually got out of the blankets and investigated why. And that’s when I discovered at 11 years old I had an accident in not just a bed that wasn’t mine, but a BUNK bed. The person I was bunking with was still asleep and so was everyone else around me, so I quietly opened my backpack, secretly changed into some pajamas (minus my undies), and then…plopped by wet clothes back into my backpack because I wanted to hide the evidence. 

Then I took some spare underwear, waddled to the bathroom, hid myself into a stall with the door locked, changed my underwear, sat down and “emptied everything that was left in the tank”, but I was so loud when doing so that the camp councilor that was assigned to our cabin was woken up, which made my situation all the more nerve wracking. I simply apologized for being loud when he was outside my stall investigating, he was understanding, and we both simply went back to bed. I never told ANYONE about it when I woke up and just went about my day, hoping nobody could smell urine in the mattress. 

Now that I think about, I’m pretty sure that was the night before we all went home, so that’s probably how I was able to get away with it, but still, that didn’t make it any less embarrassing for 11 year old me, especially since it was done on a bunk bed, and I feel bad for any adult who may have had to deal with cleaning the mattress if the mess was ever discovered. 

TL;DR: I accidentally peed on a bunk bed when I was in 6 grade science camp because I drank to much water and didn’t go to the bathroom before sleeping, then didn’t tell anyone about my accident afterwards…
