Jen came down to see her mom making pancakes. "Good morning Jen!" she said smiling "I made your favorite!"
"Thanks!" Jen said. She took one bite and realized it tasted like gingerbread! "Gingerbread pancakes?" Jen asked with a half-smile.
"Why yes Jen." she said smiling "Why? Is something wrong?" "No," Jen said smiling "they taste great!" She then poured sypup on them - almost half the jug!
After she finished, she got her things, and walked out the door. She gave her mom a kiss - something she hadn't done in years!
She looked at her mom - she looked like she'd gone down half a foot.
"Is something wrong, sugur-plum?" she asked Jen.
"Nothing's wrong, mom." she said. "Oh - there's the bus! Bye!"
"Bye Jen, have a Jolly day!" her mom said.
Jen noticed that she, herself had lost 6" like her mom.
Everyone on the bus also seemed 6" shorter, and happier too!
She sat next to her best friend Holly.
"Ready for school today, Jen?" she said smiling.
"Sure am!" Jen said smiling back. As they rode the bus, everyone became another 6 inches shorter.
When they got off, they headed for their first class.
Jen and Holly walked together, as they did, they lost another foot, and their smiles grew wider.
No matter how hard she tried, Jen couldn't stop smiling!
They finally got to class, but what class?
