Concerned for what may be going on with his son, Mikey places his hand on Linda's forehead to see if she's running a fever. "Your temperature feels normal. Did you just have a bad dream or something last night sweetie?" he asks her.
Linda however, just shakes her head. "No mom. Something about this isn't right. Like I should be in your place instead of this one." she says.
At this, Mikey starts to chuckle as he ruffles Linda's hair. "Sweetie, I know you want to grow up fast but trust me, it's much more fun to enjoy your youth instead of wanting it to end faster." he says. "Now finish up getting ready so I can take you to school and then head to work." he says as he picks up a purse and slings it over his shoulder to go stand by the door.
All Linda can do right now is head back up to what's now her room and she glances back down at Mikey and gets a bit of a surprise. "Wasn't he shorter just a few seconds ago?" she asks herself as she heads into her room.
And she'd be right as Mikey gained a few inches that made him 4'8" while Linda lost some of her own which dropped her down to 5'.
