“I want you to get a good night's rest, okay?” you say as you begin to close the door.
“I will.” Sarah beamed as she pulled the covers over most of her now ten your old body. She snuggled up real tight as all her previous worry was swept away.
“Good,” you turned off the light as the door closes behind you. “Have a good night, see you tomorrow.”
You hear the click of the door, notifying you that the door is closed. You wait a moment to see if you can hear rustling within just in case Sarah tries to play with her toys before bed. You hear nothing and you presume that she is trying to go to sleep. You walk down the hallway a little bit, glad that you got her into bed.
“Oh my gosh!”
You fall down on your knees and put your hands behind your head as the panic starts to come over you. You had been keeping it pretty chill for minutes, cheering up Sarah about her sudden growth spurt, but you were freaking out on the inside. Now that you are no longer near her, all that worry is crashing down on you. How does one grow six inches at night? How does someone age two years in an evening? What is causing her to grow? Is it in the water? Am I going to grow? What the hell is going on?
“I am sure that you will find answers soon enough. I mean she just grew two years tonight. Who says she is not going to grow more tonight? She could be a granny tomorrow? I am just glad that she is panicking anymore, else this would make it really hard on me”
You mumble to yourself about different scenarios with wide eyes. Nothing in your life prepares you for this, having to keep a girl happy while she is randomly changing age and size rapidly.
“I know.” You tilt your head up. “I am sure that this has happened to somebody else. I will check the internet for help.”
You stand up as you receive new courage, the mighty internet will give you an answer. You stroll confidently to the main room where the neighbors family computer is located. You login and begin your search for an answer.
“Let us see if anyone else has this issue.” You type away.
After two hours of searching, nothing with a grain of truth about rapidly growing children that explains this. You ignored fiction stories and focused on accounts of their children growing quickly over time or they have big children in general. None of them has one growing six inches in a night.
“You have got to be kidding me.”
You spin around and walk directly to the couch. You are losing hope in finding an answer to your problem, Sarah’s problem. You fall face first into a pillow on the couch in dismay. You can’t seem to find any answers about what is going on with Sarah. You conclude that the best answer is to wait for tomorrow and take her to a doctor then, they’ll know better.
That is when you look up with a sigh. That was your best answer for now. That is until you saw your bag open with your phone in it. You see the light of a new message.
“What do we have here?” You reach out to your phone to check what it has received.
