He looked up at the clock. It was still noon. That gave him five hours before Megan got home. He went into her dresser, looking for the new pants and shirt she had just gotten the other night. Checking the label he saw that they were 100% cotton. "Perfect", he said as he put them into the dryer. He set the dryer on its highest setting, set the timer for five hours, and waited.

He spent the rest of the day doing normal things until around 3 he dozed off. He was awoken by the dryer timer going off. Jumping up, he ran to the dryer and took out the sweatpants. They had shrunk to almost a third of their original size. He laid them out on the bed in a spot Megan would definitely notice them. Just as he was leaving the bedroom he heard the door open and Megan come in. "Hi honey, look what I found for you at a flea market" From the look on her face he could tell she didn't really like but she still thanked him and put it on the table then headed into the bedroom to change. "wait, just try it on before you do anything else" "fine", she said, and put it on. "What's the occasion, anyway? What did you do?" "Nothing big, I was doing laundry and I accidentally shrunk those new clothes you bought." He said, very apologetically. At that, she just sighed and said, "How many times have I told you to watch out for that? Where are they now? Maybe it's not so bad" "I left tnem on your bed" She disappeared into her room and when she got there yelled out, "How could you shrink my clothes this much? How long were they in?" She asked as she came out, holding the clothes, normally a little big for her 5'4 perfect figure, now just barely big enough for someone less than half that size. Seeing her holding them made him smile and he started to apologize when all of a sudden she leaned up against the wall and said, "I don't feel right. I'm really dizzy" "Here, let me help you lie down" He said, taking her hand and already noticing it felt smaller in his hands. "What's wrong with me?" She said as he laid her down on the couch, "Everything looks off somehow" as she continued to shrink. "You're probably coming down with something. Just relax, it should pass. Do you want something to drink?" "Yeah, I could use some water" she said. He went out to get her a glass of water, smiling to himself the whole time. On his way back to the parlor he picked up the shrunken clothes Megan had dropped and brought them with him. "She'll probably want these" he thought to himself.
