Right after he saw that he sat on the chair panicked until his sister and mother was gone. To his good luck his sister gone to her room and his mother said: “I am going for shopping, I’ll be back at 22:00 “
“by mom”, they said”
Then he took the tape measure and the diary, which his parents kept his and Judy’s height per age and year. Right after, Jim run to his room, during all that time the balloon lost all of his air. As soon as the reach his room he took the balloon of the pocket and said “release” but he saw it completely empty. Then Jim noticed that his clothes was too big on him and took them off and wore some pajamas, that the past. After that he measure himself 4’3” tall. Then Jim saw himself at the mirror and saw that he was 9. The diary confirmed it.
“Control my age”, he said and start blew some air but nothing happened. Then, panicked, look at the manual and saw that the balloon need time to recharge, 18 hours. At the manual was also written that as long as the balloon recharge it can’t won’t work or someone else other than its owner and it won’t work if given by force. He saw the hour and said 16:00. He calculates that the recharge will be over at 10:00 in the morning
“Release”, he said disappointed. Then he sat on the chair to play computer and try to forget his situation. After while someone knocks the door. Without wait for answer, Judy opens the door and comes inside.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT?!” Jim asks upset, as he is trying to hide his luck of height.
“Relax shorty, I just need your help for my homework, could you?” Judy said approaching closer.
“I have to finish my own so no. Now get out of my room!”, Jim said with anxiety.
As Judy reaches her brother said:” Come on, I Know you just playing at the pc.”
“I said NO, so get out!”, said angrily.
“If you don’t help me then I won’t go, if you want you can make me.”, Judy said proudly.
Then he gets so angry that forget his little problem and stand up and realizes that he just make a big mistake as he had to look up at his now 1 head taller sister.
“ha ha ha, what happened, LOOK HOW MUCH SHORTER AND YOUNGER YOU LOOK, HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW 7!!!.” Judy said laughing loudly.
