Jon yelled out "No! I know the answer!"
"I wish that people treat you like a normal person even in a strange situation like this."
Jon hesitated. "Wait. Mom, please, wait. That may or may have not been a bad thing to say, but one thing's for sure, I know the solution."
"That's impossible," said Emily. "It's been forever and I'm still like I am, you know? I should know that wishes can't be reversed."
"No, Mom, I really do know the answer. When you make a wish it changes reality so that it was always like that. So suppose I make a wish that I was ten years old. Do people remember I was born at the age of ten?"
"Of course not."
"But it changes reality. I was always ten, right?"
"It doesn't mean you were literally always 10. It means that being 10 is part of reality. People in the new reality remember you becoming 10 by being 9 first, just like anyone else. If you're trying to say that Karyn wasn't always your penis in this new reality just like you weren't always 10, you should figure out that people aren't born at age 10 but they are born with penises."
"I'm saying exactly that. Think of it, Mom. You remembered Karyn as not being my penis. As far as you know, Karyn was normal yesterday. But you didn't hear the wish. That means that, in this new reality, Karyn must have turned into my penis sometime between yesterday and today. I need to figure out what caused it and it could very well be something I can destroy, fix, turn off, or whatever. May I have the stone? Please?"
