It was just an idle thought...
"All that talk about growing up makes me think about how I wish Katie wasn't growing up so fast... If only that was a reality."
Kellie blinked as a cold feeling ran through her body. Reality bent and buckled. A new world was born.
In this new world girls emotionally and mentally aged slower than boys. For every twelve months that passed they only emotionally and mentally aged roughly eight. This had an instant and widespread effect.
Kellie, who was 43, found her own maturity diminish. Some of her confidence with it. She now felt like a young woman, she and her friends still went out to clubs, the mature woman was now mentally and emotionally only 28. Still an adult. Her clothes changed, slightly, brighter colors, coullots, and sandals.
Katie's reduction was more severe. She was a girl of 7. That meant 84 months of growth. Meaning that mentally and emotionally she had only aged by 56 months. She was now as mature as any other girl of 4 years and 8 months.
Not quite a preschooler Katie was now wearing a Sofia the First princess dress (a Halloween costume) as she watched the character on television. The show was slightly different as the main character was no longer 8 but 12. She still acted the same however.
Schools were different now too. Girls started a bit later than boys did. To keep the school calendar working though girls began kindergarten at the age of 14 and graduated high school at the age of 27. This was because, although they mentally reached the maturity of a 6 year old by age 9, they couldn't keep up at a 1:1 ratio. Thus things were adjusted.
It was due to this though that girls attended private schools as a 1st grade girls could, and would, physically overwhelm a 1st grade boy.
Kellie blinked, her mind filling with the new information. Her own reduction in maturity caused her to forget the changes as well. What she did know was that Katie's sitter, a young woman named Holly, who had just started her Junior year, to arrive so that she could hit the club with a couple girls from her work...
