This strip is copyright 2003. If Peter is 16 now, that means he likely stopped uzing diapers around 1988 or 1989. It’s somewhat unlikely they had a computer to write the letter on in 1989, and really unlikely that it was the same one they have now. (If he’s older than 16, that just makes it less likely.)
My parents always got a Christmas letter from someone they barely knew who was constantly bragging about a girl named Amanda. Mom called it the Amanda letter and read it aloud every year in a ruthlessly mocking tone. Then we’d speculate about how long it would be before Little Miss Overachiever became a huge disappointment to her family, and how they’d try to spin the scandalous behaviors we were imagining to sound like a positive. Now that I think of it, it was pretty cruel. But it didn’t really do any harm.

Don’t joke on your kids diapers, Dad. Think that it’ll came back biting you someday.
