Krystyn put the set away and took a pair of blunt-pointed scissors and a small hair brush from the shelf. To Andrew’s utter amazement, she began to give him a haircut right there in the tub. In a few minutes, she had shortened his hair considerably, making him even more infantile than he had before. Then she rinsed the hair and nail clippings down the drain with the hose and took down the bottle of combination baby shampoo and detangler as well as the bottle of baby conditioner. It only took a few minutes to lather his hair and shampoo it thoroughly, then apply the conditioner.

Krystyn rinsed him off once more and pulled him to his feet, turning him around in the process. Andrew looked in the mirror and saw the eight-month-old baby he had become.
