When the shoppers returned they found the remaining three of their family members sitting on the sofa watching the Disney channel and giggling hysterically. Mike had rediscovered the joy of watching kids cartoons.
Sara, Kimmy and Andrew had come back with their arms laden with bags. Sara or ‘Kimmy’ as she now wanted to be known, tried to sound authoritative with her little girl voice “Okay TV off. Come and see what we bought. The shop was having a sale”
Mike heard what she said but the cartoon was hilarious. A family of puppies were having an adventure in a playground. Mike wanted to see what happened next. There was no hurry. He ignored his now 8 year old wife.
Sara turned to Andrew “Okay time for you to behave like Mom”
Andrew strode over to the TV. Picked up the remote and turned the TV off. In perfect impersonation of Sara’s frustrated mother voice she said. “Enough TV. We are staying at the Disney resort and have heaps of attractions to explore. We have donuts for breakfast then we all need to get dressed for a day by the pool”
Mike jumped to attention. Andrew had been looking at him while she spoke. He remembered that for the day he had to address Andrew as ‘Mom’
“The Disney resort?” asked ‘Ellie’
“Yes the Disney resort. So let’s not waste time watching TV. We can do that back home”
The real Brad in the guise of ‘Aunt Sylvie’ had also jumped up from the sofa. “Disney?”
“With the money I saved on airfares I decided on a resort I thought you would all enjoy” said ‘Kimmy’ who was really Sara. “I must say you look sensational Aunt Sylvie. Can I assume Ellie helped you dress?”
“I did” piped up the real Tina, currently ‘Kimmy’s‘ twin.
“I very much approve. However I’m guessing you might all want to have a swim. We now have swimsuits for everyone”
There was a great hub of excitement. No one had actually guessed that they were at the Disney resort. Even Mike got caught up in the excitement. And excitedly viewed the clothes the shoppers had bought for him. Evidently a children’s clothing store in the foyer was having a closing down sale. Mike found he had a new pair of board shorts and two new shirts that would fit his current small boy’s body. He also now had a pair of flip flops and a wide brimmed hat as well.
Likewise ‘Kimmy’ and ‘Ellie’ now had matching tankinis ‘Kimmy’s’ being red and ‘Ellie’s’ light blue. Both also had a selection of new dresses. As well as sandals and hats.
Sara was happy to see that the real Tina approved of the green floral bikini and wrap dress she had bought for the Tina body. Certainly the real Kimmy was excited to be trying them on.
She informed ‘Ellie’ “There is a lot more there you might like and the prices are really good. I just had to get something Kimmy could wear today”
“Now you are forgetting your own rules. For today I’m Ellie and it is Tina putting on the bikini”
Sara wasn’t sure how the boys would take to the idea of wearing women’s swimsuits. She had bought along two of her own. One was a blue and white tankini set with a bit of a skirt the other a rather revealing black one piece with cutouts down the side. She showed ‘Mommy’ and ‘Aunt Sylvie’ their options. “You don’t have to go swimming. You can just sit in the shade if you like”
Without hesitating Andrew selected the less revealing tankini, the real Brad then picked up the black costume “Kimmy can you show me how to put this on?”
Sara did help Brad into the costume. It certainly didn’t hide Brad’s now very feminine curves. She was happy that Brad also accepted her suggestion of wearing a wrap over the swimsuit.
It was left to Mike and Kimmy currently two of the youngest members of the family to make sure everyone had applied sunscreen.
It wasn’t very long before the family left the room to explore the resort.
