Jim stopped in his thoughts.
He remembered that when he used the balloon to control his clothing size, the balloon affected all the clothes he was wearing at the time.
And the same thing would happen to someone else's clothes too.
"Hmmm." Jim thought to himself. "Maybe I should try growing or shrinking one piece of my clothing, to see if I can make them change size separately."
He especially remembered that some people who got shrunk or grown to gigantic sizes often had only their underwear shrink or grow with them. He wanted to be like them.
So, he took off his shirt, and then, grabbing the balloon, he took a deep breath and inflated said balloon. FFFFOOOOOOFFFFF. "Control the size of my shirt, please." he said. He let his grip on the balloon slip ever so slightly. A light hiss escaped.
immediately, his shirt shrunk a size smaller than normal.
He let out more air, and his shirt shrank to the size so that a baby could fit in it.
he let more and more air out, and soon, his shirt shrunk to doll size again, like before.
He was satisfied when he saw the results. This meant he could shrink himself in just his underwear.
And he could also shrink other people's clothes one at a time too.
But for now, he deflated the balloon, and decided to grow his clothes back to normal.
He said, "control the size of my shirt, please. ", then put the balloon to his lips and started blowing deep breaths into it. FOOOOOOOOOOFFF... FFOOOOOOOFFFF...
almost immediately, his shirt grew back to normal size.
Now Jim knew he could control clothing size separately, as well as in groups, he decided that he could try it anyway on someone else.
but who?
Who?
Maybe his dad?
His mom.
His sister.
His neighbour Leonard Gondman?
Maybe his parents?
Or maybe the whole family?
Or maybe the whole family and his neighbour Leonard Gondman?
who did Jim try the balloon on?
Or did he test his 'shrinking in just his underwear' theory?
