As mom looked at the rock again,it was hot and seemed to glow.
She smiled, "Wouldn't it be funny if the rock was magical, and actually granted wishes."
She then caught herself in mid-sentence. She had to giggle,because if the rock were magical she had just wished him into being like Karyn. She could imagine him, now a her, trying to understand the change.The idea was perposterous of course, but she would not want a daughter Kayrn's age yet. She would want little baby girl that she could have here at home and dress up and raise appropriately. Not too young, maybe 4 or 5. That would be her wish.
"I wish that Jon was here now as a 4 year old female version of himself." she said and watched as the rock glowed again and got hot to the touch.
Jon,was still trying to figure out who had the rock and had changed him into a replica of Karyn when he suddenly felt disoriented. Everything seemed to blink out for a second and he found himself now looking up at his mom.
"Oh my goodness" she said as she looked down at him.
"This rock must be magic. But that is impossible." she was confused and amazed.
Leaning over closer to the cute little girl she asked,"What is your name dear?"
Jon was very confused. Why didn't his mother recognize him. Why was he suddenly so short, and ....
His hand brushed something beside him and he looked away from his mom to see what he was wearing. It felt drafty all of a sudden and as he looked down his hair fell into his face, but not before he saw the pretty dress with lace trim that billowed around his legs.
Looking up he said, "Jon, mom do you have the rock?"
She grinned at him. "Yes I do, and I must say you look quite adorable."
"MOM, you turned me into a little girl. I am not a girl, and I don't want to be a girl." As he spoke it got harder and harder to form the words. He was loosing his education and experience. "This was not good." he thought.
"Well, Jon, I'd say you are a girl, now, and I don't believe anyone gets to pick their own sex."
"Mommy, you don't under....you can't see....Mommy, you must make me a boy." he tried to explain but he did not remember the words. Then he added. "Make me older."
"Well, well, so you little mind is unable to keep all that big boy knowledge in it. I see that you are starting to sound like the little girl you now are. That is good. I wish that if you try to tell people who you really are that you will always say your name is Sarah and that you are a girl." she laughed.
"What is your name." she asked Jon.
"Sarah", he said. "No I mean it is really Sarah. You see I am really a girl and my mommy has turned me into a girl by using that rock." He tried to tell the truth but it came out the same everytime.
What was he going to do now?
