Mama, I shrunk myself!
/
The other day while ignoring my children practicing hands-off parenting, I was interrupted in my reverie when a vehicle ran over my foot.
I looked down and this was the sight I saw:
Closer examination revealed an important message on my cell phone:
[In case you are blind], it said:
"Dear Mom, I am now the size of a pea. I had to duplicate myself to drive this car. Use this controller to change me back by pushing the stop button. Then count to twenty so the uv rays don't blind you. Thanks, Chase P.S. The tape doesn't hurt the phone"
I thought long and hard before making any decisions. After all, a pea-sized child might not be such a bad thing. Lower grocery bills, someone to spy on any conversation I want to listen to, less pants to grow out of.
But then I envisioned my rather sumptuous rear end accidentally sitting on the poor kid. Or accidentally sucking him up with the vacuum.
And that made me cry.
So I decided I better bring him back to normal size. I obeyed the instructions, keeping my eyes shut tight to protect me from the deadly UV rays.
After the longest twenty seconds of my life, I opened my eyes, and this was the sight I saw:
I guess now would be a good time to return that pea-sized dollhouse I bought him to live in, eh?
