Here is the story in a formatted list as requested.

1. Meet Daniel Thompson, a curious seven-year-old boy who was experiencing newfound independence.
2. Daniel was born on March 12, 2016.
3. He was a fairly average height for his age, standing at 4 feet tall.
4. He weighed about 50 pounds.
5. His hair was a messy blonde, often falling into his bright blue eyes.
6. Daniel's skin was pale, as one would expect of a young white boy.
7. His mother, Jessica Thompson, was a kind-hearted young woman.
8. Jessica was 28 years old.
9. She was born on May 6, 1995.
10. Standing at 5 feet 6 inches, she had a slim build, weighing about 130 pounds.
11. Jessica's hair was a wavy chestnut brown that she usually wore in a loose bun.
12. Her eyes were a light brown, always filled with warmth and care.
13. Daniel’s Aunt Rose, Jessica’s younger sister, was also frequently part of their lives.
14. Rose was 26 years old.
15. She was born on August 19, 1997.
16. Rose was slightly shorter than Jessica at 5 feet 4 inches, with a petite frame weighing around 110 pounds.
17. Her hair was straight and dyed blonde, contrasting sharply with her dark brown eyes.
18. Daniel’s grandmother, Elizabeth Wilson, was a youthful spirit despite her age.
19. Elizabeth was 52 years old.
20. She was born on November 23, 1971.
21. Elizabeth stood at 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a more seasoned build weighing 145 pounds.
22. Her hair was a silvery gray, cut short in a stylish bob, and her eyes were a sharp green.
23. One Saturday morning, Daniel’s mother Jessica handed him some money at their front door.
24. “You’re a big boy now, Daniel,” she said, smiling down at him.
25. She had given him permission to go to the local grocery store by himself for the first time.
26. Clutching the money tightly in his small hand, Daniel was determined to buy a candy bar and a drink.
27. Daniel walked through the automatic doors of the store with an eager step.
28. Wandering the aisles, he felt an exhilarating mix of excitement and responsibility.
29. As he turned a corner, he spotted a couple of older women.
30. They looked to be in their mid-20s, dressed in crop tops and short shorts.
31. They wore flip-flops that slapped against the store's tile floor.
32. Daniel found them undeniably pretty, something about them stirring feelings he couldn’t quite understand.
33. Realizing he might have a crush on them, he felt butterflies in his stomach.
34. Embarrassed, he quickly walked down another aisle.
35. As he turned into the bread aisle, he saw an older woman.
36. Her name was Gloria Smith, and she seemed friendly enough.
37. Gloria was around the same age as his grandmother, perhaps a few years older at 57.
38. She was born on June 14, 1966.
39. Standing at 5 feet 5 inches tall, she had a fuller figure weighing around 150 pounds.
40. Her hair was curly and gray, styled neatly in a bob.
41. Gloria’s eyes were a serene blue, showing both wisdom and kindness.
42. She was wearing a simple pair of plaid shorts that reached just above her knees.
43. Her t-shirt was white with a floral pattern, a shirt that looked comfy and casual.
44. On her feet were old lady sandals, the kind with several straps and a slight heel.
45. The sandals were beige, worn but sturdy, showing signs of frequent use.
46. Gloria’s fingernails and toenails were painted a matching bright red.
47. The polish was glossy but a bit chipped, suggesting she did them herself at home.
48. She wore a few pieces of jewelry, including a slender gold bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings, and a simple diamond wedding ring.
49. Gloria was pushing an empty cart with her purse inside it, holding a grocery list in one hand.
50. Her list included 22 items.
51. At the top of the list was the elusive, obscure type of cheese she was looking for.
52. As Daniel walked past her, Gloria spotted him and smiled kindly.
53. “Excuse me, honey, I need help finding a specific cheese my husband and I love it. I’ve never shopped here before. It’s called Roquefort cheese,” she said.
54. Daniel looked up at her, confused and a little worried.
55. “Um, miss, I don't work here. I just came for some candy. I don’t like cheese," he said.
56. Gloria's face turned stern as she grabbed his shoulder.
57. “Oh, how rude of you, young man. Here, let me teach you a lesson,” she said.
58. Suddenly, Daniel couldn’t move, feeling an odd sensation coursing through his body.
59. He looked down at his feet, watching in horror as his shoes and socks morphed into a pair of old lady sandals matching Gloria’s.
60. "Do you know where the cheese is now?" she asked.
61. Daniel stammered, "No."
62. His legs began to change shape, becoming Gloria’s legs covered by her plaid shorts.
63. His torso and shirt morphed until they matched hers, his arms and hands following suit.
64. “Do you know where the cheese is now?” she repeated.
65. Daniel, now crying, said, "No."
66. His fingernails and toenails turned red as they gained the same nail polish.
67. Gloria tightened her grip on his shoulder as his head, hair, and face turned into hers.
68. Next to the first shopping cart, another identical cart with a purse appeared.
69. Matching jewelry, including a wedding ring, formed on Daniel’s body.
70. Daniel coughed repeatedly until his voice matched Gloria’s.
71. Despite his female appearance, he still clutched the money in his hand.
72. Now eye level with her, Gloria asked, "Do you know where Roquefort cheese is now?"
73. In a voice that was now that of an older woman, Daniel said, "No."
74. Cringing at his new voice, he looked down in disgust at his older body and outfit.
75. Gloria gripped his head, altering his memories and feminizing them.
76. As he dropped the money, he tried to plead, "Please, miss, no, I wanna get candy, I don’t know—"
77. Interrupting mid-sentence, he found himself saying, "Oh, honey, I actually don’t know where Roquefort cheese is either. I’ve been looking for it too. If I find it, I’ll get you some."
78. Bewildered, Daniel looked at Gloria in confusion, "Are we related?"
79. "No, we’re not," she replied, pretending to be confused as well.
80. Daniel muttered, "Oh, wow, you must be one of those doppelgängers everyone supposedly has. You’re even wearing the same sandals as me. I love sandals because they’re so comfortable.”
81. He then asked, "What’s your name, hon?"
82. Gloria responded with a sinister smile, "My name is Gloria."
83. "What, your name is Gloria? My name is Gloria too! How old are you?"
84. "I’m 57 years old. I was born on June 14, 1966.”
85. "Oh my, I’m 57 years old too, and my birthday is also June 14, 1966. Oh sweet jeez, this is too overwhelming. I feel like something isn’t right. I should go. Sorry, sweetie, it’s like looking into a mirror."
86. Now believing she was always an old woman, the new Gloria grabbed her shopping cart.
87. She adjusted her t-shirt and shorts, feeling slightly confused.
88. Muttering to herself in an old lady way, she went through the list in her mind.
89. “Item 1: Roquefort cheese. Item 2: Milk. Item 3: Bread. Item 4: Bananas. Item 5: Chicken breast. Item 6: Flour. Item 7: Sugar. Item 8: Eggs.”
90. Adjusting her t-shirt again, she quietly remarked, “Oh dear, Gary will be so pleased if I find that cheese.”
91. She glanced at the ground, spotting the money she had dropped earlier.
92. “Oh, what’s this?” she said, bending down to pick it up.
93. Chuckling, she added, “Somebody seems to have dropped some money on the ground. No matter, it’s not yours, Gloria. The honest thing to do is to turn it in at the front.”
94. Referring to herself, she continued, “You’re 57 years old, and your mother taught you very well to be honest.”
95. She tucked the money into her purse, deciding to turn it in at customer service once she found the cheese.
96. No longer interested in candy or soda, Gloria hummed softly as she headed to the front.
97. At customer service, a friendly female employee smiled.
98. “What can I do for you today, ma’am?” she asked.
99. “Somebody dropped this money. I wanted to turn it in,” Gloria said kindly.
100. “Thank you! What’s your name?”
101. “My name is Gloria,” she replied with a soothing smile.
102. She wandered the store in search of cheese, briefly stopping to admire her reflection.
103. “My, my, I do love these comfortable sandals,” she complimented herself.
104. Spotting the younger women from earlier, she frowned.
105. “Excuse me, ladies,” she said, projecting her voice towards them.
106. The women turned, smiling, “Yes, can we help you?”
107. “Yes, you can. What are your names, and how old are you two?”
108. “I’m Emily, 23,” one of the women said.
109. “I’m Sarah, 25,” the other added.
110. “You should really consider your outfit choices,” Gloria began lecturing them.
111. “The amount of skin you’re showing is quite inappropriate.”
112. “You look like you work on the streets or in a nightclub.”
113. “Such outfits are not suitable for a respectable woman.”
114. “You ought to cover up more.”
115. “What would your mothers think if they saw you dressed like this?”
116. “You give a bad impression to people around you.”
117. “Consider dressing more modestly.”
118. “There’s a time and place for such attire, and a grocery store isn’t it.”
119. “You’re both lovely girls, but you can’t rely on your looks alone.”
120. “Please take this advice to heart and present yourselves better.”
121. Emily and Sarah exchanged glances, annoyed.
122. “You’re a hypocrite,” Emily pointed at Gloria’s exposed legs, “cover them up.”
123. Sarah added sarcastically, “Take your own advice.”
124. Gloria frowned, feeling the sting of their words.
125. Thinking of the new generation, she felt disappointment.
126. Shaking her head, she moved on, tripping over her sandals.
127. “Oh, Gloria, be careful. You’re 57 years old,” she reminded herself.
128. Spying younger moms with their kids, she admired their youth.
129. “Oh, to be young again,” she reminisced.
130. Continuing her search, Gloria went down an aisle, knocking over a can of beans.
131. “Watch where you’re going, Gloria!” she quietly scolded herself.
132. “You need to be more careful and graceful,” she continued.
133. “Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you should be clumsy.”
134. “Make a note to notify the staff about this small damage,” she thought.
135. “Even if it wasn’t a big deal, it’s the right thing to do,” she concluded.
136. Seeing herself as always the old woman she believed to be, she never thought of her past life.
137. Realizing her transformation was complete, she moved on with her new existence.
138. Finally, with list in mind, she continued seeking Roquefort cheese.
139. Muttering to herself, she stayed focused on her task.
140. “Item 9: Tomatoes. Item 10: Lettuce. Item 11: Apples. Item 12: Oranges.”
141. Gloria's memories had fully aligned with her new reality.
142. Sighing softly, she shifted her mind back to the elusive cheese.
143. “Where could it be? Oh dear, Gary will be so disappointed,” she murmured.
144. Heading towards the dairy section, she continued her search.
145. A sense of duty compelled her to find every item.
146. Each step, each thought, and each action reinforced her identity.
147. Gloria’s desires and preferences had changed.
148. She no longer craved sweets or thought of playful indulgences; instead, she sought practicality and fulfillment.
149. “Let’s get this shopping done, Gloria, and then head home,” she told herself.
150. “Gary is waiting, and we don’t want to keep him,” she added.
151. Feeling increasingly comfortable with her new identity, she embraced her role.
152. Finally, she spotted the cheese section and her heart skipped a beat.
153. “Just maybe Roquefort is here,” she hoped.
154. Gloria’s eyes scanned the shelves meticulously.
155. Each label, each brand scrutinized for her dear cheese.
156. Time seemed to dilate as she sought her heart’s object.
157. “Keep looking, Gloria. You’ll find it,” she encouraged.
158. Pushing aside layers of frustration, she kept her resolve.
159. “You promised Gary, remember?” she reminded herself.
160. Feeling tired, she leaned on her cart for support.
161. “How time flies. Being 57 is no easy task,” she mused.
162. Refreshed by her dedication, she stood up straight.
163. There it was, hidden among more common cheeses.
164. “Oh, blessed be, there it is!” she exclaimed, reaching for the Roquefort.
165. Gloria felt triumphant; she had fulfilled her mission.
166. Now, secure in her identity, she moved on to her next items.
167. Her steps were measured, her focus unwavering.
168. Each aisle held the promise of completion and fulfillment.
169. “You’ve done well, Gloria. Almost there,” she reassured herself.
170. With each check on her list, her confidence grew.
171. “Item 13: Butter. Item 14: Bacon. Item 15: Spaghetti. Item 16: Salt.”
172. The list began to shrink, and with it, her burden.
173. Gloria moved with purpose, embracing efficiency.
174. She was, in her mind, always the woman she had grown to believe herself to be.
175. Past memories of candy and youth vanished completely.
176. She felt wise, mature, and responsible.
177. “Item 17: Olive oil. Item 18: Chicken stock. Item 19: Cabbage. Item 20: Coffee.”
178. Small joy sparked within her each time she found an item.
179. “You’re doing great, Gloria. Only a few more left,” she confirmed internally.
180. Continuing through the store, her journey neared its end.
181. Each movement fluid, each decision careful.
182. “Gary will be so pleased,” she thought with anticipation.
183. Browsing the soup aisle, she found herself less clumsy.
184. One final check with her list.
185. “Item 21: Rice,” she noted, proceeding to the grains aisle.
186. Gloria felt a wave of satisfaction envelop her.
187. One last item awaited her attention.
188. “Item 22: Garlic,” she concluded, heading toward the spices.
189. The thought of returning home with everything on her list comforted her.
190. Roquefort cheese being one of her proudest accomplishments.
