Before he could ponder his strange behaviour anymore Brian felt Mama’s arms scooping under his own and lifting him off the floor. How Mama was strong enough to lift him onto her hip and carry him was beyond his understanding. He could only assume it was the work of the book, altering certain aspects of the laws of physics.
Mama carried him into the kitchen, where three high chairs were lined up along the counter. They were huge chairs of course, built to accommodate college-aged men and women. Each was white with a foot rest and a detachable tray. As Mama set him down in one of them and strapped him in, he got a look at Meggy for the first time since their latest transformation. Their former friend was dressed just as Rachel was, in nothing but a diaper.
