The day had been very distracting for Mikey. Jon kept wiggling about like a woman. Mom kept looking like she had a crush on him, which was probably more disgusting. He got a first-hand view of Mom acting more and more his age...she even seemed to be getting younger.
He headed home. He found Zoe in her room, sitting on the bed. The room was mostly empty. "She actually did it," Zoe said. "All my clothes are gone. She left me a couple of t-shirts and skirts and a note saying she's taking me shopping when she gets home."
Mikey looked at her. "Sorry," he said, sitting down next to her. Their real mom would never have done that. He hugged Zoe, suddenly, feeling guilty. Zoe let him. She always had a soft spot for her little brother.
