As soon as the door opened, Charlie saw Julie reach in and grab his hand.
"I said not to ..." He braced himself, as their skin made contact. But instead of the suction sensation that he expected, he felt as if he was being paralyzed. This one was new to him. He had no idea what it would do.
He watched as Julie's body started to grow taller and older, and the mother's body started to become shorter and younger. And after just a few seconds, the mother had become 10-years old and the daughter had become 30-years old.
"Sandy, did you remember to wash your hands?" the older Julie asked Charlie.
"Of course I did. Didn't you hear me?" Charlie asked.
"Don't get smart with me. Now, come on. I think you have some homework to finish, don't you?"
Charlie wasn't sure if the sky was yellow or brown, but this was one more effect that he'd have to watch out for. It was an age swap. In this case, Julie really thought she was the mother, or at least her version of a mother. And the mother (Sandy) had become her child.
