When I was a teenager, I thought I knew it all.
When I reached my forties, I realized I didn’t know shit.
And now, as a teenager once again, I know even less.
I have no idea how I got here or how to get back.
All I know is that it’s fucking hard.
One minute I was a middle-aged mother and wife; the next, my daughter and I had switched ages.
I became a teenager once again, while she became the adult in our family.
Talk about culture shock!
I can’t even begin to describe the feeling of waking up in my teenage body.
It’s like being reborn—sensory overload.
Everything feels new and different: the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures.
Even my thoughts are different.
As a practical and responsible adult, I always knew what to do.
But as a teenager?
I’m clueless.
I have no idea how to be a seventeen-year-old girl in today’s world.
I don’t speak the language or know the rules.
I can’t even figure out how to use Maggie’s cell phone, which she insists I must have with me at all times.
What the hell is an app?
And what does swiping left or right mean?
I notice my hands are getting smaller as I eat breakfast.
My fingers can barely grip the spoon, and I have to concentrate to keep from dropping it.
Maggie watches me with growing amusement.
She’s been watching me all morning, ever since I woke up in this body.
It’s like she’s waiting for something to happen.
I reach across the table for my orange juice, but it’s too far away.
I strain to reach it, but my arm isn’t long enough.
I try again, stretching as far as I can, but still can’t reach it.
Maggie smirks at me, clearly enjoying my struggle.
She picks up her phone and starts filming me.
"What are you doing?"
I ask, trying to hide my frustration.
"Just documenting your progress," she replies, her eyes fixed on the screen.
"Progress? What do you mean?"
"You’ll see," she says, still filming. I try again to reach the juice, but it’s still out of my grasp.
I lean forward further, stretching as far as I can, but still can’t get it.
Suddenly, I knock the cup over, spilling juice all over the table and floor.
"Oh no!"
I cry out in dismay, quickly grabbing a napkin to clean up the mess.
But when I try to wipe up the spill, I realize that my hands have shrunk even more.
They’re now small enough to fit inside a dollhouse.
My clothes are starting to hang loose on my body too; my pants slide down my legs as I try to mop up the spill.
My shirt is baggy and oversized, falling off one shoulder as I bend over to clean up the mess.
"What’s happening?"
I ask Maggie in confusion and panic.
"You’re shrinking," she replies matter-of-factly, still filming me with her phone. "What? Why?"
I ask in disbelief as I look down at myself in horror.
"I told you," she says with a smirk, "you’ll see."
As I watch in shock, my clothes continue to grow looser and looser on my body until they’re hanging off of me like a tent.
My shoes fall off of my feet and clatter onto the floor as they become too big for me to wear anymore. "Stop this!"
I shout at Maggie in frustration and fear as I realize that my voice is changing too; it’s higher pitched and childlike now instead of its usual adult tone. "Make me big again!"
Maggie finally lowers her phone, a hint of seriousness in her eyes.
"You’re not just shrinking, Mom," she says softly. "You’re regressing."
"Regressing?" I echo, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and disbelief.
I stomp my tiny feet in frustration as Maggie wipes my face with a napkin.
She’s treating me like some messy toddler who can’t even clean up after herself.
I try to grab the napkin from her, but she holds it out of my reach.
"Let Mommy handle it," she says with that patronizing smile I used to give her when she was little.
I snap, trying to grab the napkin from her, but my arms are too short.
"I’m still your mother!"
I shout, but my voice comes out high-pitched and childlike, undermining my authority.
Maggie just pats me on the head and starts gathering up the clothes that are now way too big for me from the floor.
I protest, but she ignores me and starts rummaging through her closet for something suitable for me to wear.
