Me and My Brother Summary: This is when my brother Drew and I were 14 and hacked into the school mainframe and shut off access to the school’s internet access and phone lines for a prank to Mr. Gordy for giving me and Drew detention. Since we were acting like babies and getting into stuff we weren’t supposed to we were treated like babies. Me (Jack) and my brother Drew live with my mom, younger sister Bree and dog Hamlet (Ham). Our dad died, was KIA so it’s Mom raising three kids and a dog. I based this on something I saw on the suggestion board and another story on this site. I’m sorry if it sounds similar. ======================================================================= Drew and I were in 8th period and Mr. Gordy called us to the computer lab. Drew and I knew this was coming. When we got in there we were as scared as a hell. "Do you boys know what you did? You cost the school 45 grand for repairs to the internet and phone line. I’m very disgusted with you, especially you, Jack. Your conduct is going down. Do you know that? Since you both were involved you both are suspended until summer vacation," Mr. Gordy said. Drew just stood there. I just looked at Mr. Gordy. "Your mother will pick you up in an hour. Clear your lockers," Vice Principal Victor said to us. He wasn't mad. He was sad because he was our mentor and soccer coach. When I opened the door everyone lined the halls and formed a path to our lockers. Drew was about to cry; I was acting cool. Then we emptied our lockers and everyone cheered. We just pulled the greatest prank in the history of Palm Springs Middle School. We got into our car. Mom just drove us home. When we walked in there was all this baby stuff, but bigger. There were two highchairs, two cribs, one extremely large playpen, and a changing table. Drew knew what this was. Drew caught mom looking at punishments sites online. The punishment was that the offenders (Drew and I) would be treated as babies to keep us out of trouble. Mom closed the door behind us. "Okay, since you boys are acting like babies, that’s how me and your sister Bree will treat you. You will bet treated this way until August.” Since it was May and we got out May 14 we had a long way to go. Then Bree walked in. "What did you morons do this time?" she asked us. "Me and Drew hacked into the school mainframe," I said proudly. "Oh, good one, stupid. You know you would eventually get caught, right?” she said back to me. "Well, now that Bree is the oldest now you will have to listen to her," Mom said. "What the hell? I’m not listening to Brainless over there," Drew said, pointing to Bree. "Bree, can you go upstairs?" Mom said. "Ok, I’m going to diaper you. If you say anything the pacifier goes in. Drew opened his mouth, and before he said anything it went in. I was laughing at him, so I got one, too. So mom changed Drew first. She diapered Drew first and then out him in a sleeper with feet. "I can't stand up!" he said. "Well, crawl!" we heard Bree yell from her room. "Shove it!" I yelled back. "Jack, babies don't talk like that," Mom said as she dressed me. I was in a sleeper identical to Drew's. We just followed mom upstairs, crawling all the way. She lifted us into the cribs. "Why are we going to bed at 8:00?" Drew asked. "Because that's when babies got beddy-bye," Mom said in a babyish voice as she lifted him into the crib. Then she put me in and shut the rails. Then I noticed that the crib had a top so we couldn't climb out. As we got tired I told Drew one thing. "It’s going to be a long summer, bro," I said. "Indeed," he replied, then fell asleep. Part 2: First Day as Babies Summary: This is days one and two of the story of Jack and Drew. One day one their cousins come and see Jack and Drew in their present state. PART 2 “Jack, it’s 7:30; get up, sweetie,“ Jack's mom said, lowering the bars on his crib. “Mommy?“ I said, clutching my mouth. “Honey, I put an underdeveloped hormone in your bottles I gave you yesterday so you are kinda regessing at a slower rate,“ mom explained to me. “Mommy, why do I feel funny?“ I asked her. “It's all part of the hormone. You shrink and lose motor skills and stuff like that. At least you still have your memories and still fourteen but you look like you’re four,“ She said, lifting me out. She was right. I looked in the mirror. There was a two-year-old baby staring back. I noticed that mom was holding Drew. She picked me up and held me and Drew at the same time. “I haven't done this since you were babies,“ she said, daydreaming to the time before we got into trouble. She carried us downstairs and put us in the highchairs. They were our old ones, not the adult things but the ones we used when we were little. I also noticed we were in different sleeper than the ones we had on last night. The diaper was also new. Bree looked wickedly at me and smiled. She looked and said, “Did she give you the growth hormones?” I nodded. She lost it and laughed hysterically. Mom looked at her while giving us the baby oatmeal and sippy cups. She stopped me and Drew from eating to put bibs on us. “Mom, we can do it,“ Drew explained. Boy, was he wrong. It was everywhere-- on our faces, fronts, hair, and I still can't find out how it got on diaper. When mom finished with us the doorbell rang. “That must be Aunty Kathleen,“ Mom said, handing me to Bree. I just stuck out my tongue at her. Just then Aunty Kathleen came in with her daughters Rebecca, Erica, and Cindy and son Gavin. Rebecca and Erica are sixteen and Cindy is fourteen. Gavin is twelve and well could pass of sixteen because he's tall. They rushed over to me and Bree. “Where’s Drew?“ I asked mom. “He's in the playpen, which is where you’re going,“ She told Cindy who was holding me to put me in the playpen. “ My god you’re sooo cutte!“ She said, carrying me into the living room. “You know it, babe,“ I said. She put me down and gave me her pouty face and went back to the kitchen. I always used to tease Cindy because she was always so pretty. She went to our school and knew what happened. (At that time she was going out with the class president who happed to be my best friend Henry Connors)She was never single either which made all other girls jealous. She is constantly bothered by her boyfriends when she's talking to me. She has to explain to them that Me or Drew are her cousins. Aside from being a babe, Cindy is extremely gifted in the ways of smartness. She's in all honors classes. She came back two minutes later with two bottles of that growth hormone stuff. “Drink up if you want to be little,“ she said smiling. Me and Drew winked at her. She gave us another pouty face and went back. Me and Drew were playing with toys until we saw Gavin. “Gavin come here!“ we said to Gavin leaning against the wall outside the kitchen (attempting to look cool). He came over. “What did you do?“ Gavin asked us. “Mainframe kids,“ Drew told him. “That was you?“ he said laughing. “Good one. I was using the computer in Mrs. Daily's room when everything crashed,“ he said laughing. Then the rest of the family came in they looked said, “Jack, Drew, we have some news,“ Mom said. “The hormone we gave you has no alternative so you’re going to have to grow all over again.“ Drew cried I stood up and jumped up and down. “AWESOME!” I started yelling. “Now we don't have to got to school until we look six!“ I said when they looked at me. “Hormone taking effect?“ Bree said with gigrles from Rebecca. “Nice try, but you’re going to go to Erica and Rebecca's daycare until you’re six. In the meantime you’re babies so were going to need to got shopping tomorrow.“ I looked at her. “It’s 8:45, it’s past bedtime. Cindy and Erica, can you change them and put them to bed?” They took us upstairs and put us to bed. “Nitey nite!“ Cindy and Erica said at the same time. “Stay HOT!“ me and Drew yelled at them. Erica and Cindy gave us both pouty faces(I wondered where that was from) and left. “Yahoo! We're going shopping tomorrow,“ I said enthusiastically. Drew agreed from his crib. Minutes latter I heard a car start and lights. “I seriously hope they stay hot,“ Drew said. Now it was my turn to agree.
PART 3 I woke up to the unlatching sound the crib makes when you let it down. "Guess what?" Bree said. "You’re getting a brain?"Drew said, laughing. "No, I have one, unlike you, but Rebecca, Erica, and Cindy are taking us shopping!" she said as she put me on the table. "Women and shopping, I don't get it!" I said. As she pulled down the front of the diaper she started yelling. "Holy crap! You smell like a thousand cows’ butts!" she screamed. "It's that stupid growth hormone thing!" I said. She wiped it up with one hand. "Holy cow, that's terrible!" she said. "It's all for you," Drew said from between the bars. Bree rolled her eyes as she finished me. "I hope you’re dry," she said, staring at Drew. "You thought wrong," he said, laughing harder. "Little kids, I'll never know," she said, sighing. "What’s taking so long?" Mom said. "Sir stinky-butt over there smells terrible and his accomplice sir smell-funny is worse!" Bree said through our laughter. "Great anomalies!" I said, laughing. "Rebecca’s gonna be here soon. Hurry up I'll just give them drinkable meals because of the rush," she said picking me up. "Jack, how did you sleep?" Mom asked me. "Well..."I began, but she just interrupted me. "You’re gonna be good today, right?" she said. "Babies have good moments and bad moments, mom. We're gonna shoot for good," I said. She walked into the living room to see Rebecca and Cindy waiting. "Erica's in the car," Rebecca said. "I'll take Jack," Cindy said. "Don't worry baby, you’re gonna sit in my old carseat," Cindy said. "As long as I'm next to you, babe!" I said in my toddlerish voice. She gave me the pouty face again (does she ever get tired of this?)and buckled me in. "Here comes Drew," Rebecca said carrying Drew. "Okay, the stroller is in back with the diaper bag. Bree, use your cell if you need to call me, okay?" Mom said. "Yes mom," the three of us said together. "And we're off!" Erica said. On the drive to the mall Drew and I played with some of the baby toys mom packed us. I hit Drew in the head with a toy car on accident. "J..Ja..Jack h..hit..mmm.mme!" Drew said, crying. "You’re such babies!" Bree said, giving Drew his pacifier. "He looks so cute!" Erica said, looking in the mirror at Drew. "Keep your eyes on the road!" Rebecca said. We got there a half hour later due to traffic. We set up the stroller and walked in. Two girls came over to us. "Bree, who are they?" one of the girls asked. "They’re my cousins-- Erica, Rebecca, Cindy, and their baby brothers uhhh... Kyle and Rocco," She said with somewhat of a stutter. "We are going shopping for them!" Cindy said. "I know you," a girl said. "I'm Dawn, Dawn Kelly. From your math class," she said, My jaw dropped. I whispered to Drew in the stroller, "She's in my math class too." I said. "Want to come with us?" Erica said. "Oh goodie!" they said. "I've never been shopping for baby clothes before," Dawn said. "Good practice for when you have kids." The other girl said. "I know you." Rebecca said. "Aren't you at in Lowlle's Class at GDA?" She said, "Oh yeah. I sit next to you, duhhh!" "She's Millie Van Reidy," Rebecca said to Erica. We walked into a clothes store and saw something we didn't expect to see. "Oh my GOD!" Bree said.
