My Parents’ Wish Summary: This is about the Pearson family. Their son, sixteen-year-old Derrick, is getting into trouble while his younger sister fourteen- year-old Danielle, is a perfect daughter. They wish Derrick was two years old again because then he couldn't get into any more trouble. THIS IS FICTION, NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ANYBODY LIVING OR DEAD, BUT THIS IS FICTION-- I REPEAT, FICTION! Derrick Pearson came home at 9:30 on Saturday after he went with his friends Az and Timmy. These boys bought firecrackers and blew them in some old lady's pool. When his parents found out they were furious. They grounded him for an unknown amount of time and took away his access to Xbox Live and iTunes. They had put Danielle in charge of him because they didn't feel he was old enough to take care of himself while they were at dinner. Danielle was very tall, had dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and not too skinny but not "chubby". Even though Derrick was two years older his friends thought she was hot. Danielle had tied up Derrick's hands with a belt so he couldn't do much. While Danielle was sitting for Derrick his parents wished he was two years old again. When the parents got home they found Danielle holding a small bundle. They asked what it was. Danielle said it was Derrick. He was normal a second ago but then he shrunk. "Mommy, what happened?" Derrick said in a small voice that sounded like a three-year-old. Danielle said how cute he look and how she was the oldest in the family. Derrick began to cry. His parents went to the stores before they closed to buy baby clothes, diapers, pacifiers, bibs, baby food and other baby things for Derrick. When they got home they set up everything. They had a guest room which became the nursery and where they set up the crib, changing table and playpen and small TV for him to watch shows on when he was in the playpen. The Pearson’s had a family talk. Danielle was holding Derrick, who was wearing a t-shirt that snapped at the crotch to cover his double- layered Luvs. Danielle was bouncing him up and down, which he liked. The family talked on the matter of Derrick shrinking. They had to figure out how to cover up where he was. The excuse was simple. He was visiting relatives in Italy (they really had relatives there). They should say that Mrs. Pearson had a baby (which she did like sixteen years ago). When the discussion was finished Danielle carried Derrick and put him into the playpen in the nursery but decided to change him because he would get a rash. When she changed him Danielle gave him a binky, which he sucked on because he had nothing better to do and found it soothing. "Danielle, are you having Sam and Vikki over tonight?." said her mother. "Yeah, they’re coming over at 4:45, which is in like a little while!" Derrick began to cry. "They can't see me like this!" Derrick said between sobs. "Derrick, you look like your two so there's nothing wrong with a two- year-old looking like a two-year-old, so you’re fine." Derrick was still crying, so Danielle plucked him from where he was seated on the floor in the playpen. While she was changing him the doorbell rang. She finished up snapping the buttons on his snap-crotch shirt, picked him up and ran to the door. She let Sam and Vikki in and put Derrick on the floor in his shirt and double diaper only (No pants, what a player! just kidding) "Oh my god, he's so cute! How old is he?" Vikki said. "He’s only one and a half." "He's so cute anyway! Come here, you!" Sam said to Derrick and as she picked him up and put him on her lap as they watch the Hills on MTV. "What's his name, Danielle?" said Sam. "His name is Max," Danielle said but stuttered, which caused the girls to look at her. "Girls, we, as in Mrs. Pearson and I, are going to dinner; can you watch the baby?" said Mr. Pearson. "Fine, dad, we will," said Danielle. "He goes to bed at 7:30 and make sure you change home before he goes to bed," said Mrs. Pearson. Derrick just looked at his mom and she winked at him and he began to cry. Danielle just clipped a pacifier on his shirt and stuck it in his mouth. He sucked and calmed down. The girls played with him and then watched Hitch on TV. Danielle was on the couch with Derrick on her lap and Vikki and Sam on the floor in their sleeping bags. Danielle was playing peek-a-boo with Derrick and he was having fun. "Okay, Derrick, time for bed," she said, picking him up. The girls turned around. "Did you say ‘Derrick?’" they both said. "Oops, sorry, Derrick I have to tell them now," Danielle said. "Okay, when I was at home with Derrick after he blew a hole in Mrs. Kendrick's pool he all of a sudden shrunk and became small like a toddler," Danielle said, out of breath. They just continued to do girl stuff and tried to put make-up on Derrick. He squirmed and wriggled, trying to get away. They did it, anyway. "Oh, what a cute baby!" Sam said when she looked at Derrick. He kicked her and ran away but didn't get far because of his double diapers. Danielle placed him in a walker and continued to do makeovers on each other. They put derrick in his crib at 8:00. Two hours latter Mr. and Mrs. Pearson came back ant told the girls to go to bed. The next morning Danielle woke up at 8:00 and went to feed Derrick. She found him in the kitchen being fed by her mom. She sat down with some Coca-Puffs. Sam and Vikki came in and also ate some cereal. They said hi to Derrick and he waved and some of the maple syrup hit Vikki's hair. She took a shower and had Danielle and Sam fixed her hair. This went on for about two years when all of a sudden Derrick came back to normal. He couldn't control his bowels, could barely walk, and still wanted a pacifier. Danielle still took care of him, even though he was 16.
