His childhood memories became hazy. 133. His memories with his family faded. 134. He began remembering life as Pauline. 135. Memories of raising Mary emerged. 136. Memories of life in Chicago surfaced. 137. He forgot he ever was Eric. 138. Confusion settled in. 139. He never remembered his past life. 140. The transformation was complete. 141. "What in tarnation was I doing here?" she muttered to herself, her voice unmistakably that of an older woman. 142. Pauline walked over to a nearby mirror. 143. "You look splendid, Pauline, you always have," she said. 144. "Your hair, those curls are just fabulous." 145. "Your eyes, still as sharp as ever." 146. "Look at that complexion, still radiant." 147. "Oh, those high cheekbones—you’ve still got it!" 148. Pauline spotted the flip flops on the floor and picked them up. 149. She placed the left flip flop on her left foot. 150. She slid her foot in. 151. Adjusted the thick strap over her toes. 152. Ensured the platform heel sat correctly. 153. Shifted her weight to check the balance. 154. Adjusted the second strap around her heel. 155. Made sure it was snug. 156. Felt comfortable in it. 157. Smiled, satisfied. 158. She placed the right flip flop on her right foot. 159. Repeated the process. 160. Slid her foot in. 161. Adjusted the thick strap over her toes. 162. Checked the platform heel. 163. Adjusted the strap around her heel. 164. Ensured it was snug. 165. Felt the balance. 166. Smiled, satisfied. 167. Admired how her feet and nails looked. 168. Pauline grabbed her purse and threw it over her shoulder. 169. Still in her tank top and shorts, she clip-clopped out to the car. 170. She drove to the store. 171. Once at the store, she grabbed her purse as she got out. 172. Walking into the store, she looked down at herself. 173. "Oh Pauline, you’re looking fine today," she chuckled, speaking like an old lady. 174. "Even my daughter doesn’t have these curves." 175. Pauline grabbed eight snacks and drinks for her daughter: a pack of Doritos, some Oreos, a bottle of Gatorade, a Hershey’s chocolate bar, a bag of Skittles, a bottle of Sprite, some Lays chips, and a Red Bull. 176. She picked up some items for herself too. 177. She headed over to the liquor cabinet requesting help. 178. "Excuse me, young man," she said angrily, "get over here and help an old lady out!" 179. "I'll take two bottles of Jack Daniel's." 180. The male cashier smiled, "May I see your ID, ma'am?" 181. Pauline got confused and frustrated, "Why the hell do you need my ID?" 182. "I’m old enough to be your granny, for crying out loud!" 183. "I just need a glimpse of it, ma'am, for the cameras," the cashier replied with a smile. 184. Pauline went into a rant. 185. "This is ridiculous!" 186. "I am Pauline, and I am 64 years old!" 187. "What young person under 21 has a name like Pauline?" 188. "I don't understand why you need to see my ID." 189. "Look at my face, these wrinkles!" 190. "I’m clearly an old woman." 191. "Do I look like someone trying to sneak a drink?" 192. The cashier apologized, "Don’t worry about it, miss, I’m sorry for offending you." 193. Pauline lectured him, "You need to learn how to treat a lady." 194. "Asking for my ID, what a creep." 195. "I’ve seen you looking at certain places." 196. "You think I didn’t notice?" 197. "Next time, better watch yourself." 198. "Respect your elders!" 199. Pauline went to the manager, "I need to talk to you about your employee’s behavior." 200. "I felt offended by their treatment." 201. "My name is Pauline, and given that name alone should show my age." 202. "It's ridiculous how I was asked for my ID." 203. "This is not how you treat an old lady." 204. "You need better training for your staff." 205. "Do something about it!" 206. Pauline got home and yelled for her daughter, "Mary, get your butt over here and help bring in the groceries!" 207. "These snacks and drinks are only for after dinner." 208. "You must ask for permission to touch any of them." 209. "If I catch you sneaking them, you’ll be grounded." 210. "Or worse, I’ll take all your toys away." 211. Pauline poured herself a glass of Jack Daniel’s. 212. She drank it while still wearing her tank top and shorts and flip flops. 213. She set her purse next to her on the couch. 214. Kicking her feet up on the table, she sighed. 215. Later, she went to her room. 216. Mary knocked on the door, "Mom?" 217. Pauline didn't want to deal with her, "Get lost!" 218. While Mary distracted herself, she first looked at the ground. 219. She saw the familiar sight of her mother's feet wearing flip flops and red-painted nails. 220. Looking up, she saw her mom holding her hands on her hips. 221. Pauline yelled at her, "What are you doing?" 222. "Go to bed!" she ordered. 223. "Nothing for you to eat tonight." 224. Mary, feeling sorry, hugged Pauline out of nowhere. 225. Throwing her off, Pauline felt uncomfortable and disgusted, "I'm not your girlfriend, I'm your mother." 226. "Apologize right now and go to your room." 227. "I didn’t raise my daughter to be a whore." 228. Standing in front of the mirror, Pauline wondered, "Why is she so needy?" 229. She thought long and hard about her daughter's behavior. 230. Old memories as Pauline resurfaced. 231. The way she was raised by her own strict mother. 232. How she was always taught to be tough. 233. She smiled, thinking she raised her daughter well. 234. "That's just how kids are these days," she thought. 235. Pauline went back to the living room. 236. She didn't notice how perfectly her flip flops fit. 237. The house felt strangely empty. 238. She finished her whiskey, feeling the warmth spread through her body. 239. "One more drink," she thought. 240. She poured herself another glass. 241. Pauline pondered over her reflection in the glass. 242. She never remembered being Eric. 243. Only memories of being Pauline filled her mind. 244. She chuckled to herself, "You've still got it, old lady." 245. Life now felt complete in a different way. 246. Mary, in her room, cried herself to sleep. 247. Pauline heard the muffled sobs from her rocky relationship. 248. "She’ll learn," Pauline muttered. 249. She took slow steps back to her room. 250. Mary would turn out fine under her guidance. 251. Pauline convinced herself of that. 252. Her thoughts wandered to the shopping trip earlier. 253. The frustration with the cashier. 254. Her assertive stance against him. 255. She remembered how solid she felt in her flip flops. 256. Those flip flops had journeyed through quite the story today. 257. Pauline started planning the next day. 258. Grocery lists and chores danced in her mind. 259. The events of the day slowly dimming into the background. 260. Her feet, propped up, relaxed in the living room. 261. She hummed a tune from her youth. 262. A shadow of melancholy crossed her face. 263. The mystery of her transformation remained unknown to her. 264. No memory of being Eric haunted her. 265. Pauline's life continued seamlessly. 266. Unaware of the magic that reshaped her destiny. 267. She glanced around the room. 268. "Life as it is," she sighed. 269. "To a good night," clinking her glass. 270. Pauline retired to her room, preparing for another day of routine.
