Jeff looked up at his mother with wide eyes, trying to explain why he had chosen to regress to a toddler. However, he had a hard time trying to explain with proper words. His mother smiled and nodded, trying to make sense of what he was saying, but it was no use.
"I think we need to fix this," she said, standing up and heading to her room. She sat down at the computer and began to navigate the program. She had a bit of a struggle, but eventually, she managed to find the settings she was looking for. "Ah-ha!" she exclaimed, clicking on a button.
Suddenly, Jeff felt a strange sensation wash over him. He looked down at his hands and saw that they were still small and childlike, but when he spoke, he was surprised to hear that his voice was clear and articulate.
"Wow, I can talk properly again!" he exclaimed.
Curious, Jeff got up and ran to his mom's room. When he entered, he was shocked to see that his mom was now a 2-year-old toddler girl, sitting in the floor while playing with a doll. Even her room was replaced with a nursery.
"Mom...what happened?" Jeff asked, stunned.
His mom looked up at him with a big smile on her face. "I fixed your talking problem, sweetie, but I think I might have gotten a bit carried away with the program," she said, giggling. "I decided to try it out for myself and see what it was like to be a toddler again."
Jeff couldn't help but laugh at the sight of his mom as a toddler. "I guess this is a bit of a surprise," he said, chuckling. He even find it funny that her mother was able to talk properly. Surely, unlike him, she took the trouble to alter the program so that she could continue speaking at an earlier age.
His mom nodded, still smiling. "But I have to say, it's kind of fun being a toddler again."
Jeff thought for a moment, then said, "You know, I think I wanted to be a toddler again because I missed the simplicity of childhood. I missed being carefree and not having to worry about all the stresses of being a teenager."
His mom nodded, understanding in her eyes. "I think that's a good reason, sweetie." Jeff and his mom looked at each other, both of them thinking the same thing.
"So, what do we do now?"
