Katie could hardly contain her excitement, like electricity throughout her body as she came to a decision. She was certain it was the right choice, and that she would have a lot of fun with it. First, however, she wanted to be downstairs so she could observe the change, so she left her room and tromped to the steps. Her mom was laid out on the couch, sleeping, exhausted.
Katie padded up to her and placed her hand on her mother's. "I love you mom." She whispered. "I hope you have as much fun as I do with this."
Then she made her wish. "I wish Mom and I would switch ages and roles for the next three days, and that she would remember being my daughter. She will have all my stuff become hers and all her stuff become mine. She will have her own personality, likes and dislikes just as any normal eight year old would. I also wish that this ring wouldn't work for changing ages for those three days so we can just enjoy being mother and child and that everything and everyone would change to suit my wish."
