After dinner, Kellie took Katie to the mall to shop for new clothes. Katie couldn't help but notice that her mom was slightly more at ease than she had been, although she could tell Kellie was definitely still embarrassed that her daughter was wearing clothes two years too small for her.
At the department store, Kellie took Katie directly to the children's department. They began looking through clothes, but Katie started to feel like some of Kellie's choices were simply too childish for her.
"Come on mom, I don't wanna wear that," Katie said about one outfit in particular. "That outfit looks lame." She spied an outfit in the young adult section. "I wanna wear something like that!"
"No Katie," her mother said. "That outfit is much too flashy for you to wear at this age. I told you before, don't be so anxious to grow up."
"Grrr," thought Katie. Her mom still wasn't cool and relaxed enough. "Make my mom two more years younger," she silently wished, hoping that would loosen her up just a tad more.
Seconds later, Kellie was 39 years old, looking a tad fresher in the face and hair. Kattie tried again convincing her mom to let her try on the outfit she liked.
"Fine, Katie we can look over there," Kellie said. "But that doesn't mean anything will fit!"
Katie bounded off to the dressing room. She was soon back wearing the outfit she desired so much.
"Well mom how do I look?" she asked.
"Well ..." Kellie said. "I don't know. It's the smallest size, but it looks better on older kids Katie."
"I wish I was four year older and mom was 2 years younger," Katie thought, hoping that becoming even closer in age would help. "I have to be careful not to get too much older, I don't want to loose my whole childhood!"
In seconds, Katie was a 13-year-old, 5 feet 4 inches tall and skinny with lanky legs and arms. She even had A-cup breast and her hips were flaring a bit. Kellie, mean while, was a 37-year-old, even fresher looking than before. Her clothes, made for her 43-year-old build, were definitely looser.
"Umm..."Kellie said, undecided.
"One year older" Katie said quickly. At 15 and 5' 5" with small B-cups, she was sure to convince Kellie.
"Wow girlie, you do look good," Kellie said to her daughter. "But if we are going to get you that outfit, we should go up a size. That looks like it would have fit you better last year though."
Katie slyly smiled to herself.
