She rubbed the paste into the lamp and said conversationally that she wished that the chores had been Done and that Ron had been able to join her in her babyplay. Kimberly agreed that it would have been fun to babysit the two of them and waited for Deedee to make the wish to rejuvenate herself.
Deedee made her wish, saying specifically that she wanted to remain a baby until eight o’clock that night.

The two of them jumped up to see what the problem was and opened the door to the garage to see Ron standing there with his clothes sagging on his rapidly diminishing frame.
