"Because... because I never thought of it?"
"You've really got to be careful with magic," said Karyn. "I wonder if your grandfather gave it to you as a prank."
"Fine, I'll wish Mom was home so that..."
"No, you won't. You just told me you can swap with pictures. So just wish that you swapped with a picture of your mother from before you were born. It means you can swap back safely without worrying about leaving her with parts that are the wrong age. And since you just swapped with a picture, it means your Mom won't be running around with a penis."
"Okay. I wish that I'm like this because I swapped lower halves with a picture of Mom from before I was born, not with Mom. While we're at it, I wish that Mom threw my magazine in the garbage and I got it back out after she left."
Things momentarily blurred and then cleared up to look exactly the same... except Jon had a family album open in front of himself, and the magazine besides it. The album was opened to a picture of Jon's mother with Jon's lower half. Jon opened the magazine and swapped the model's clothes back to the magazine, and was then able to swap back with the picture from the family album. He tried swapping back and forth a few times and remarked "It's weird suddenly being pregnant and then not."Then he swapped one last time and put the album aside.
"There, that was easy," said Karyn. "What would you ever do without me?"
