As they started to walk to the car, Katie had a thought. Her mom's attitude had changed now that she herself was sixteen, maybe it was time to be in charge for once. While Kelly got distracted with some more clothes, Katie saw her chance.
"I wish I had all the knowledge and skills of a sixteen year old girl, including how to drive, along with my current memories. I also wish that Mom, Kelly would become 12 years old in body and mind and that she would think she was my little sister."
Katie felt the effect on herself immediately as the knowledge of a sixteen year old filled her mind. It was a lot to take in, conflicting with her former innocent five year old personality. It felt like she'd simply woken up and had a gap of all those years with memories, but she still had the knowledge and experience she should have anyways.
She looked down and saw she now had a purse, and inside that purse was a driver's liscence, credit card and other things a girl her age ought to have which meant....
"Katie!" A young voice whined from behind a rack of clothes. "Can you help me?"
Katie rounded the corner and stopped still. A twelve year old girl sat on the floor struggling with the clothes of a sixteen year old. The little girl looked just like her, only with different eyes.
"These dumb clothes are too big!"
