The Thrivesons kept on shrinking.
They shrunk right down way past doll size, and ended up no bigger than spoons.
Then they ended up no bigger than cigarettes (which was ironic, since The Thriveson parents never allowed smoking in their house).
Then, they were no bigger than matchsticks.... then pumpkin seeds, and then, Before too long, the tingling sensations stopped. Their shrinking had stopped, leaving them all under half an inch tall.
The size of an ant.
The Thrivesons were quite possibly the first ever Ant-sized family in the world.
"Wow!" Olly said, eyeing the mongo-sized living room. "We're the first ever Ant-sized family in the world!" He exclaimed excitedly.
The ant sized naked Thrivesons gazed in awe at the massive world around them.
They were just about to decide what they should do next, when their thoughts were rudely interrupted.
