Mikey opened the door to Sally's room and started rooting through her closet. He wasn't sure what he wanted, exactly, but it was hard to tell what there was. Sally's doll clothes had all been thrown into a box, along with dolls in various levels of dress. Mikey was pretty sure there were a lot of costumes that Mom would never have bought. Wonderwoman and Elvira came to mind.
"Mikey? What are you doing there?"
Mikey spun around. His mom was standing in the door, watching him.
"Uh, nothing mom. Nothing at all."
"I'm sure. Tell me."
Mikey felt himself start to sweat as he recalled everything he had done to his brother with the wishing rock-
Ah! He moved his had to his pocket, touched the stone and whispered "I wish mom had more to worry about than me being in my sister's room."
Mikey's mom shook her head. She had been thinking about something more important than Mikey...
"We'll talk about this later, Micheal. Now, have you seen your sister?"
"Sally? No. Isn't she still at Mrs. Jones's?"
"No, not Sally, Jon. We're supposed to go try to fit her for clothes today. Have you seen her?"
Mikey blinked. She knew Jon was little? And a girl? He thought the stone would just make people not notice! This needed more thought, which he did not have time for right now.
"I haven't seen her since this morning. Maybe she went to Karyn's?"
Mom frowned and headed for the phone.
