Two friends Jacob and Greg were practically friends before they left their wombs. Their parents were friends before they were born, and it isn’t rocket science to imagine them being friends. Just from being born a week apart, they went from breast feeding to entering high school together.
The two were walking in the mall when a store caught Greg’s eye.
“Am I going crazy or does that store say Regressive Store? That’s pretty weird to have store in your name.” Greg said.
“Oh I’ve heard of this place. They have things that let you turn back into a kid again.” Jacob informed Greg.
“Really? Well let’s try it out!” Greg eagerly started walking towards the store. Jacob attempted to stop him, but failed.
Greg entered the store and Jacob caught up to him, “dude I’m not even sure if I’ve met a person who claims this works!” He whispered.
“Oh it works alright.” The man behind the counter said. The boys were surprised by his hearing capabilities. “Because of it, I’m able to stay young forever!”
Greg and Jacob were unsure to believe the cashier. He looked like a depressed college student who’s trying to make ends meet. “Wish for me to demonstrate?” He asked. They remained silent as the man walked over to the products farthest from them and came back with a bottle of pills. He swallowed one in front of them, making him go from about 25 to 8 with baggy clothes around him.
“Holy shit!” Jacob exclaimed.
“Thats amazing!” Greg shouted.
The man began to cough up the pill and he spat it out, turning him back to his original age. He straightened his clothes and he threw away the used pill.
“Now are you going to buy anything or leave? You’re starting to act like little kids!” The cashier said.
Greg immediately started looking around the store while Jacob apologized. He quickly caught up to Greg after he did so.
“Look! This diaper cream can make you 4 years old for 12 hours. The only way to turn back is either waiting or scrubbing it off!” Greg said. He put down the lotion bottle and picked up a bottle of pills, “This does the same except for three whole days! I cannot imagine being four for three days!”
“Listen Greg. If we are actually going to get something here, shouldn’t we get something that doesn’t involve being diapered. I’d hate for your parents to struggle tonight after my parents leave for work.”
“Don’t worry dude. My parents babysat the both of us ever since we were actually 4. I’m pretty sure the diapers are still in the closet since someone was an extremely late bloomer!” Greg winked at Jacob who knew of his past with bathrooms.
“Can we not talk about that in public. It’s extremely rude and embarrassing!”
“Fine, but I don’t see why you don’t want to be a baby! Everything is done for you! It’s like the best way to spend break!”
“Fine. We’ll flip a coin. If I win, I get to choose a age that doesn’t center around the underwear being diapers. If you win, you get to choose any age.”
“Deal! I choose tails!” Greg shook Jacob’s hand and agreed to his coin flip. Jacob pulled out a quarter and flipped it. He caught it and slowly opened his fist.
