This choice: Dress up clothes, just under 3 feet tall; Sophia's little sister Amanda! • Go Back... “You’re so cute,” Sophia noted as she cradled her shrunken babysitter like an infant, “I’ve always wanted a little sister,” she added. Sophia tried to carry Amanda with only one hand, but her trembling quickly defeated this idea, "Grab Fluffy,” she instructed, referring to her stuffed sheep on the table. Amanda did as she was told as she was still in shock over what was happening, “Great!” Sophia started walking with Amanda in her arms.
Amanda was in shock over what was happening. Amanda had always felt bad for Sophia; even though she was nine, it was easy to mistake Sophia for a first-grader or even a kindergartener. The child was carrying Amanda across the room like a giant doll. “You’re my little sister now,” Sophia told her shrunken sitter as she put her on the bed, “And my friend said that little kids like you need to take naps or they get cranky.”
“I’m not a little kid,” Amanda argued.
“See?” Sophia smiled, “You’re cranky already.” Sophia pinned the teenager to the pillow, “Now nap!” Sophia took Fluffy from Amanda, “Come on, Fluffy, let’s go find our new little sister something pretty to wear.”
Sophia walked over to her dress-up chest and started digging. With her charge busy for the moment, Amanda took a minute to assess this bizarre situation. Somehow she’d been shrunken down to the size of a tot by Sophia, and while every instinct told her to demand to be returned to normal, she knew that Sophia had the power right now. What if Sophia decided that Amanda would be easier to manage at doll size or locked in a cage like a hamster? No, the best thing to do was to play along and wait for a chance to get the shrinking ray or help.
“Hmmm…” Sophia walked over to Amanda with several dresses in hand, “Move!” The child forced Amanda onto her back and laid each garment over the babysitter for comparison, “This one!” Sophia decided as she held up a Cinderella dress and threw the others aside. “Get dressed, Mandy!” Sophia ordered without getting Amanda’s opinion.
“Mandy?” Amanda questioned, as no one had called her Mandy since grade school.
“Mandy sounds cuter,” Sophia said plainly, “Now, put your arms up.” Amanda did as she was told, and Sophia pulled the dress over Amanda’s shrunken clothes, “Stop squirming!” Sophia ordered. It wasn’t long before Amanda was dressed in the Cinderella dress, “Oh,” Sophia gushed as she admired her handiwork, “So pretty!”
“Ummm…” Amanda paused as she looked over herself in the second-hand princess dress, “I look nice,” she said, “I look ridiculous,” Amanda thought to herself.
“My turn!” Sophia happily declared as she dressed in a newer Rapunzel dress to which she added a crown, “I look beautiful!”
“You sure do, Sweetie,” Amanda agreed.
“Don’t call me Honey!” Sophia scolded, “That’s what grown-ups call me! You need to call me big, sis.”
“Oh,” Amanda stepped back at the power move, “Sorry, big sis.”
“Good,” Sophia patted Amanda on the head like a pet, “Now let’s….”
