13. Mrs. Washington was originally from Chicago, Illinois, and she stood at a height of 5 feet 5 inches with a solid build.
14. She had a confident, no-nonsense demeanor, with short pixie-cut black hair and piercing brown eyes.
15. Mrs. Washington was widowed, her assertive and sassy attitude shaped by years of managing life’s challenges on her own.
16. Ethan clung tightly to his stuffed teddy bear, Mr. Snuggles, and a small locket his grandma had given him for comfort.
17. As he sat in Keisha's living room, he felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement about his first sleepover.
18. The living room was cozy with a large, brown sectional sofa, a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall, and various family photos arranged meticulously.

21. "Please, may I have them back?” Ethan’s voice wavered with a mix of politeness and desperation.
22. Mrs. Washington glared at him, her stance firm and unyielding.
23. "Nuh-uh, honey. I ain't gon' have no kids bringin' stuff up in my house like that. Ya gots to learn,” she spoke in a sharp, sassy tone.

33. The sandals, with their thin, strappy design and low heels, felt surprisingly snug on his feet.
34. He yanked at the sandals, but his feet began to tingle and transform as they aged rapidly into the feet of a grown woman.
35. Ethan let out a cry, “No, no, no!” as he stared in horror at his now beautifully painted toes in a rich shade of red.
36. He dropped Mr. Snuggles and the locket to the floor, tears streaming down his face as he tried frantically to remove the sandals.

Ethan, however, stood frozen, staring at her with wide eyes, recognizing his own transformation. 103. "Ethan, is somethin’ wrong?" Linda asked, concern clouding her voice. 104. The boy's silence was unnerving, Linda's intuition telling her something wasn’t quite right. 105. Ethan finally muttered, "I just... feel funny." 106.
