Grandma Ruby was well known for dabbling in potions. She mixed up love potions, luck potions, body tf potions as well as others. No one in the family worried about this because her potions rarely worked. Some family members didn't even believe in magic and chalked up Granny's potions to pure coincidence or Granny's delusions. Jeff was one of these doubters.
Jeff arrived first for the family Christmas. Granny's house was all decked out in a Christmas Tree and mistletoe, holly, and laurel because Granny's Christmas was pure pagan with Jesus.
Jeff said "Beautiful decorations Granny Ruby." as he removed his coat and shoes and stuck them in the closet. Another major decoration was a gingerbread village spread out across the dining room table including gingerbread men ice skating on a pond, gingerbread dogs pulling a gingerbread sleigh, and a gingerbread tree right in the center.
Jeff snuck a purple gumdrop button off of one of the gingerbread men. Yes, a gumdrop button. He should have known that Granny was still sharp as a tack about things like that. Granny asked, "What did you just do?"
Jeff said, "Sorry. I'll fix it." Jeff stuck his finger on the gingerbread man which only served to smear the frosting. Granny said, "It's too late now. Get away from the table. I may have a solution myself."
Jeff followed Granny continuing to apologize. Granny gave his a cocoa saying, "It's okay. It's just gingerbread even though I put a lot of work into it."
Jeff said, "If you got any more gumdrops or I could run to the store." and sipped his cocoa.
Granny said, "That won't be necessary." She walked over to the defiled gingerbread man, plucked him up and tossed him in the garbage. Jeff felt a sudden wave of panic thinking he might wind up in the garbage too. The cocoa tasted great but there was an extra ingredient.
Jeff asked, "Granny, you spiked my cocoa?"
Granny said, "You'll replace the missing gingerbread man for the night."
Jeff laughed, "That's a good one." but inside, Jeff started feeling the effects. He started hiccuping. With each hiccup, he shrank a very tiny amount.
Todd, Jeff's brother, arrived next in time to see his brother shrink right down into his clothes. Todd was busy messing with the coats of his little ones, Josh, 11; Mary, 8 and Bobby, 5. Granny was the one to pluck Jeff out of his pile of clothes. He had become a gingerbread man but without icing or decoration.
Granny said, "Oh, dear, It's too late to decorate you. Besides, since you messed with that one gingerbread man's clothes, you shouldn't be trusted with cloths. I'll put you as one of those polar bear club members that swims naked in icy lakes."
Jeff protested but Granny ignored him. She got some of her decorating tools out, just ones like cooking tweezers and batter sculptors. She sculpted for Jeff a reasonable set of genitals, ass, nipples, and belly button. Then she used icing to give Jeff a messy hair do, eyes and mouth. Jeff's arms were too short to cover himself or resist Granny.
Bobby immediately headed for the table to pick Uncle Jeff up. Todd yelled, "Bobby no. You don't want Grandma Ruby turning you into a gingerbread man yourself." Bobby stopped.
Granny said, "You know the rules. No one is to disturb the gingerbread village until Christmas morning."
Bobby said, "Yes, Granny."
Josh said, "Uncle Jeff is naked." and Mary giggled.
Todd said, "Oh come on. He's gingerbread. How about you go to the playroom for a while."
The kids left and Todd whispered to Jeff, "Get ready cause when the time comes, I'll eat you."
"Pictures. I want pictures of the gingerbread village before any further damage is done. It's bad enough I had to replace a gingerbread man at the last minute so Jeff, remember to smile and act like a gingerbread man. Don't even think of covering up.
