"No, this is a bad idea Katie." Mary said and all the other girls agreed with her.
But Katie was determined to do this. She thought this was going to work and this was the best time to try it. "Hey, Mom?"
Kellie walked over to her little sprog and smiled. "Hey, kiddo. Whatdiya need?"
Silently, Katie made her wish. "I'm kinda plotting the perfect day with my friends and I need to cram in as much of their requests as possible. Where can we start?"
The thirty-one year old woman looked to her daughter and suggested: "I'd start off with the playground first, that way you can meet with other kids your age and I can be as hands off as I can manage."
"Then you could drive us to the theme park a few miles off from there!" Katie beamed: "Pretty please!?"
The twenty-eight year old mother adjusted her shirt as she thought to herself. "Why would you want to do that, Kate?"
"We wanna go on every ride!" Katie boasted. "Would you?"
"Well…" Kellie looked to the girl as her mind switched from mother to sister as she shed another year from her body. "Yeah, I'd kinda like that."
"Yeah! And we can watch a movie after!" Katie cheered. As the conversation continued and she watched the years melt away, her head started to finalize the plan down to the movies they'd watch (although for the late movie, she had to ask what she'd watch if it were just her first while she was still a college girl) and before she knew it, the schedule was set in stone while Kel was beginning her descent through high school. "Do you think I can drive, Miss Judy?"
"No you cannot!" protested the woman who had earlier in the hour had been a peer of hers. "You've only just gotten your driver's license but with these many children, I don't know if I can trust you!"
"Aw, c'mon. I'm sixteen years old!" Kellie puffed up her chest as much as she could manage with b-cup breasts. "I can totally take care of a bunch of runts."
"Oh, you think you can handle this on a learner's permit?!" Judy barked back. "You are not getting my Civic, end of story!"
"Ugh! I just wanted to do something fun for my sister!" Complained the lanky fourteen-year-old teen. "What's wrong with being a fun older sister for a while?"
"And yet you thrust yourself into the driver's seat of a car you're too small to operate." Judy craned her head down to her former peer. "Look, just let me do the driving and I'll look after the children."
"Ugh...fine." Kellie rolled her eyes as the twelve year old slumped on the couch and pouted in silence, flipping the channel as baby fat slowly accumulated on her dwindling body. Her mood started to perk up when she reached six years old, and by the time the group was ready to leave, childish laughter had devolved into the babbling of an infant in the care of her newly adoptive mother Judy.
