Her mom nods and sighs. "Yeah. You might not think being five is so great when you find out that your mind is going to become a 5
year-old's to match!"
"what!" you said. You notice that it's true. You are standing outside in your gray shorts and no shirt over your pot belly. You feel your
brain getting smaller and you forgetting everything from your life. You feel your mind getting simple.
"I change my mind! I don't wanna be a little boy!" you yell.
"You should have thought of that before" Claire said. Your mind changes more and fills up with thoughts about kids shows like Power
Rangers, Spongebob, and Pokemon. Claire's mom can see the mental change in your eyes.
"How old are you?" she asked. You count on your fingers.
"I'm 5 years old. I'm a big boy now!" you answer. "Can we play spongebob? With no shirt I could play Patrick" you giggle at your
comment.
"Maybe this is better for him mom" Claire said. "Can we adopt him?"
"Sure" he mom said. "But that means in the morning he will still be 5 and you will 16 again, so he will be your little brother"
"Will he get older?" Claire asked.
"Yes, but at the same rate as a normal person, 11 years before he will be 16 again"
"We can play, Jimmy!" Claire said. "And tomorrow, you will be my little brother." You giggle and come back inside getting ready to play.
"I'm gonna be Sandy" Claire said.
