I stared at Karen outside and was beginning to have second thoughts. Maybe I shouldn't just shrink my mother, maybe I'd be even better to let her in on my secret. I walked outside and approached her.
My sister got up and was heading towards me. Phone against her ear, she walked past me. She didn't even look me in the eye.
"Hey Mom, can I talk to you for a second," I said to my mother, still kneeling over her flowerbed.
"Sure honey, give me a minute to finish this up," Karen looked over her shoulder and smiled at me.
"Mom!," I looked behind me and saw Tina standing in the doorway. She had changed clothes and was holding a sportsbag. "I'm staying at Wendy's for a few days."
Karen got up and turned towards her daughter. "Tina when are you...,"
"I'll call you!," my sister walked off and seconds later the frontdoor slammed shut.
"Well guess it will be just the two of us then," mom said removing her gloves.
She walked back towards the house. At the door she tried to take off her garden boots.
"These things are sure getting tight," I watched amused as she struggled with the last boot.
"Now what did you want to talk about?," Karen said as she put her boots down and went inside.
I watched as mom walked into the kitchen. Her bare feet leaving slight prints on the white tiles.
With Tina out of the house for a few days there was nothing stopping me from having some fun with the remote. But should I use it on my mother? She might get frightened by me suddenly shrinking her, maybe I should just tell her what was going on.
