Matt grinned. "I guess he won't be telling me what to do for awhile."
"Yeah, I would say that is..." Suddenly, Paul stopped speaking. He felt very strange. "What is going on?"
The huge, burly man, right before the shocked eyes of Matt, began to rewind. He zipped through puberty in reverse, his body hair vanishing along with his muscles and bulky frame.
"Stop this!" Paul shouted in a now boyish squeal. "Do something!"
He soon dropped out of his teens. From 10 years old, he continued to regress in age and stature. He was eight, then six, then four, before the changes slowed and stopped.
Now, there were two little boys of about four years of age standing with a very surprised Matt.
"Wow, Mr. DeSoto!" Matt said in amusement. "You were a little butterball."
It is true. Matt's 4-year-old dad is a scrawny little kid, but Mr. Desoto as a 4-year-old is plump and pudgy.
And none too happy. "Change me back!" Paul said in his little-boy voice.
"I don't think so," Matt said.
