As they drove home, Lucille said to Lance, "How did your inflation just stop when Dr Stan pulled your plug?" she asked.
"Beats me." Lance said, staring out of the window. Of course, he couldn't tell anybody about the Chronivac.
No sooner were they nearly home, Lance began to feel a drawing feeling going through his body. he felt himself shrinking.
"Holy smokes!" Lance exclaimed. "I'm getting smaller and smaller!"
"OH MY GOODNESS!" Lucille said in shock, alerting the kids's attention. "Honey! You're shrinking!"
Lance stared at himself. His shoes and socks fell off his feet. He slid out of the seatbelt straps, and his clothes at the same time! "Holy cow, you're right, honey!" Lance said. "I'm shrinking like a deflating balloon!
The car pulled up outside the house. As Lance jumped from the car seat, he was no bigger than a man's thumb!
He dashed through the lawn, and watched as the grass grew bigger around him.
Soon, he was no bigger than a flea!
And all the blades of grass now looked the size of a tree!
"What if Dad shrinks till he disappears?" Larry asked.
