Jonathan headed straight for the aisle for 3 year olds. After careful thought he decided he wanted to be an older toddler, yet still not be too old for diapers. And if anyone found it odd he could just pretend he was one of those kids who was still struggling with potty training.
Looking down at the many products lining the shelves he suddenly found himself indecisive on what to buy.
"Miss, I have a question" he called for the worker.
She walked over to him, "Yes. What is it?"
"I'm wondering what the time is for this stuff. Like what is the longest and what is the shortest?"
“Oh it’s quite simple. It all depends on how long it stays in you or on you.” She grabbed some lotion and a bottle of pills. “The lotion here lasts up to 12 hours, or until you wash it off thoroughly in the shower. You can reapply it after baths or showers to keep it going if you’d like to sleep like a baby.”
She put the lotion down and gave Jonathan the pill bottles, “These pills can last up to 48 hours, or even longer. Most people claim they’ve gone 3 days, so that’s possibly how long you’d have.”
“And how do I take these pills? I don’t have to put them up my, you know...”
“Oh no, that’s not how it works. You can swallow the pill, crush it, or even let it dissolve in the water. The same time frame applies, but some say it lasts longer if you just swallow it.”
“Oh ok. But what would you recommend?” Jonathan asked.
“I’m guessing you have other residents in your home?”
He nodded, "My family is returning from vacation in a few days. What would you recommend?”
“Well the baby formula is up to a month, unless you only drink that 24/7. That would result in a longer baby period and many soaked diapers. The rash cream could be explained, but it has the words diaper and a picture of a baby on it. Pills are easy to hide, but there are too many. Unless you wish to explain to your family why there is a toddler in the house.”
“Yeah, but that would probably be a better gift to my mom and dad than anything.”
“Well the only things I could recommend is the lotion or showering products. I’d recommend that you take off the labels and write down their transformation times somewhere. The same can be done to the rash cream, but that would be out in the open if you’ve never had rash cream before.”
“Yeah, last time I had a rash was when I was 8. They’ll probably know what caused my babyification.”
“So then which will it be? Lotion or showering products?”
