You awake with a start. At first you're confused. Lying next to you is your sister Christy and at first you can't figure out why she is sleeping in your bed with you. And then you notice that you are wearing a pink night gown and beneath that you can feel a diaper.
At first you are scared because you realize that it was no dream; you have become a four year old girl because of a ring and Jamie took that ring away. For what reason and purpose, you no not.
As you lay there next to your seven year old sibling, sorting theses thoughts out, you pick up a stuffed animal with out thinking about it and sliding out of bed, toddle to the living room. There you sit down on the couch and spend the next two hours watching Saturday morning cartoons.
In a while your dad comes out and seeing you awake greets you and tells you that mommy will be up shortly to make you breakfast. Shortly after that, Christy joins you followed by Alex and Micheal.
You have once again forgotten about Jamie and you fail to notice when she tells mommy that she's going to a friends house for the day. What does catch your attention is when mommy first asks you and Micheal if either of you wet the bed, to which you both respond, "No." after that she asks what you all want for breakfast, which a lot of squabbling
commences.
In the end mommy tells you all she's making waffles. When they are ready, you join most of your siblings at the table. It's only when you notice Danny and Jamie aren't there that you tell mommy in a bossy four year old voice, "Mommy, Danny and Jamie awn't eating at the tabwe."
Mommy tells you that Danny is still asleep and Jamie went to a friends house for the day and that you shouldn't be paying attention to what Jamie and Danny do all the time.
You sit there and eat quietly. That sliver of your former self is back, only much, much, much smaller then before. It's telling you that you have to, need to, get the ring back or you will be stuck like this. Again, you wonder why getting some grown-up jewelry is so important. Today you want to play outside and maybe play with Christy again, if she'll play with you again, which seems likely.
