Jason shrugged to himself as he edited the sentence, changing “customers” to “kids”.
Suddenly there was an odd sensation, as if he had shrunk, but… Slowly he blinked. Had something changed?
It didn’t look like it. He was a little disappointed actually. Near the back there was a very chubby 5-year-old boy in overalls looking at shirts with horses on them. He was probably the oldest one in the store, and beside him was his 2-year-old little brother who seemed a bit oblivious to his surroundings as he sucked his thumb, clinging to his brother’s pants leg. He only wore a shirt with a cartoon character on it, and seemed to still be potty training judging by the diaper around his waist.
A geeky 4-year-old with glasses and shaggy hair was excitedly looking through a basket with shirts with cartoon and comic book characters on them. He was already wearing a superhero shirt, with a little cape tied around his shoulders.
The two employees in the store were both middle-aged men, with big barrel chests, bellies, and bushy beards. They reminded Jason of his own father, they smelled like his dad at least. It was a nice store… but wasn’t something supposed to be changed?
He looked down at himself, seeing his smaller body in his cute kiddie clothes, a red graphic shirt with a cool picture of his favorite cartoon on it and colorful shorts with the coolest velcro light up shoes. He was only 3-years-old, but hadn’t he always been? He remembered how his parents had been shopping in the store across from this one, and Jason snuck out of their supervision in order to take a look at the cool clothes this store had. He loved it.
Jason shrugged, figuring the app might have glitched. Maybe he should try it again on another target? He absentmindedly picked his nose, looking at the app in confusion. For now, he just put his phone in the pocket of his shorts and decided to look at the clothes with the other boys. While he entered, he passed by the burly older man at the counter, who almost bumped into him. “Whoa! Hey there little guy!” He said with a grin, making Jason giggle.
