Story Time - Switching It Up

Hi Little Buddies! Thank you so much for your patience with me. I’m going to try to be better about getting these out faster. I may have gotten slightly more ambitious than I should have been with this first one. I still need to do some editing but its mostly formatting. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Andrew

“What??? I wanted boxers! Boxers! Not briefs! That was the whole point!” Danny protested angrily holding the opened package of embarrassingly childish white underwear in his hands.

Andrew grinned and shrugged dismissively. The twerp deserved it after snitching on him to their mom about driving his friends home. Because of Danny, even if he passed his driving test tomorrow, he wouldn’t even be allowed to drive by himself for another two weeks. Which sucked. At 18, he was already the last of his friends in high school to get a drivers license and now he would be delayed again. His mom asking him to pick up a few packs of boxers on the way home from school for his dorky little brother was the perfect opportunity for a little revenge. He knew how badly his brother wanted to be one of the cool kids and this would be sure to sting just as badly as his grounding from driving alone. Sure mom would be annoyed but he had plausible deniability. It was such an easy mistake to make. He would claim she had said underwear and of course the kid wore briefs so that’s what he bought. Case closed.

Danny

Danny however, was more than just annoyed. He was seething. He was 11 now and way too old for briefs. All the other guys had been wearing boxers since last year. Every day at gym was a fresh reminder of his immature hand me down tighty whiteys from his older brother. He had finally convinced mom to spring for a whole new set of boxers today and he had gleefully emptied his underwear drawer into a trash bag and unceremoniously dumped them all in the trash.

Now, not only had his brother bought him several packages of nerdy white briefs, but he had opened them all so they couldn’t be returned.

“You did it on purpose!” Danny growled.

“Sorry kiddo, I must’ve mixed up the packages. No use crying about it. Have mom grab some for you next time she’s at Target…” Andrew flashed a Cheshire smile and leaned in closer. “…and next time maybe you’ll think twice before tattling.”

Danny just glared at him speechless. It had been an accident! He hadn’t meant to rat Andrew out on driving his friends without a license. His mom had asked him about the ride home and it had just slipped out. He figured Andrew would be mad, but this? This was cruel. “No use switching things up Danny. Once a dork, always a dork.” Andrew said as he tossed his keys up and snatched them out of the air and walked off whistling.

Andrew

Andrew headed to the kitchen where his mom was cooking dinner.

“Oh good you’re home, come set the table.”

“C’mon mom. I’ve got homework, can’t Danny do it?” Andrew asked.

“Oh please, It doesn’t take that long Andrew, just do it please. Oh by the way, did you buy Danny’s underwear for me like I asked you?”

“Yessss mom.” Andrew rolled his eyes as he pulled the plates down from the cabinet.

“Good.” She said ignoring the teenagers clear attitude. “Also, don’t forget we have your drivers test tomorrow at 12:30. It will be a busy day and we won’t have time for delays. I’m dropping your brother off at his friends birthday party early and I need you up and ready to walk out the door by noon. You need to make sure you have all the paperwork ready and filled out so we don’t have to wait around longer than necessary because we still have to go shopping afterwards and then head back to pick up your brother later.”

“I’m not a little kid anymore mom. You don’t have to keep reminding me of stuff. I’ve got it covered.”

“So you say but we both know you like to sleep in on Saturdays and we won’t have a lot of room for dilly dallying but as long as we are both on the same page I won’t say another word about it. “

“Yes I get it, can I go now?” Andrew said as he finished putting out the plates and silverware.

“Dinners ready in an hour.” Mom called after him as he fled down the hall.

Danny

Slamming the door to his bedroom behind him, Danny began to pace. Andrew had to have known how much this had meant to him. Now Mom wouldn’t buy him any replacements till these had worn out. He’d be in high school by then! He couldn’t face that. Maybe he could ride his bike to the shop where Andrew had bought them and try to exchange them.

He dug around in the shopping bag for a receipt. Finding it he typed the address into Google maps. It wasn’t that far. It would usually take maybe 30 minutes to get there by bike and the store closed in 25 minutes though so he’d need to haul ass if he wanted to make it.

Throwing the bag full of underwear in his backpack he set out. Somehow he got stuck at nearly every traffic light along the way though and he rode up to the store just as the lady was locking it up.

“No! Wait! I need to make an exchange!

The woman spoke without turning around. “Sorry kid, stores closed for the day. Come back tomorrow.

“I rode all the way here, it’s important please!”

She turned to look at him eying the bag. “What do you need to exchange?”

Pausing he realized he would need to show the contents of the bag.

“My jerk older brother bought…ummm, he was supposed to get some boxers for me but he got these dumb tighty whities instead to get me back for accidentally getting him in trouble. Please won’t you let me exchange them for the right ones?”

She chuckled. “Sorry kid, store policy doesn’t allow exchanges on open packages.”

Danny’s eyes fell. He’d failed. He was going to be stuck in tighty whities till he was in college.

Danny started to turn to leave when he felt her hand touch his shoulder.

“But…I may have a way for you to get even with your brother and get those boxers you wanted. There is one catch though. Once done, it cannot be undone. Do you agree?”

Danny felt his heart race. “Yes! Yes, absolutely! What do I need to do?”

She held out her hand for the bag and Danny handed it to her.

He watched as she plucked a small charm hanging from a bracelet on her wrist and twisted it open. A glittery substance fell out into the open bag and she handed it back to him. “Take one of your brothers boxers and put it in this bag and then place one pair of briefs into his drawer. In the morning the bag will be gone but you will have your boxers and your brothers underwear will match his maturity.”

Danny took the bag eagerly. With a quick jump on his bike and pedaled home as fast as he could his heart pounding as he snuck back into the house through his still open window.

Dinner was uneventful and he rushed through the evenings events with one eye on the clock eager for the night to end so he could make the switch.

As 8pm rolled on into midnight and the house finally became quiet, Danny quietly snuck out of his room and down the hall. His brothers door was locked but he had long ago figured out that a tiny screwdriver twisted through a little hole on the door handle could easily pick the lock.

The door swung open without a sound and although it didn’t take long to do what he came to do, every step felt like an eternity. His heart was beating out of his chest and he was sure it would wake Andrew up. For a moment he was tempted to put all of the boxers into the bag but followed the directions he had been given and chose only one. Then reaching in to the bag he placed one pair of briefs into the drawer. Danny wasn’t sure but he thought he saw a slight glow as he slid the drawer closed. He didn’t have time to think about that though because he was beating a hasty retreat back down the hall to the safety of his own bedroom.

After hiding the bag in his closet, Danny suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion come over him and lay down on his bed passing out in seconds.

Andrew

Andrew awoke to his mom pounding on his door.

“Andrew you better be awake and dressed in there! We have to leave for the DMV in 2 minutes or we will be late!”

Oh shit! He had overslept his alarm. He absently fumbled for his cell phone where it should have been charging on his nightstand but it wasn’t there. He must’ve forgotten it in the living room or the car last night. But hadn’t he been texting his girlfriend Jordan right before he went to bed?

“I’m serious Andrew! I do not want to miss our appointment”

“Out in a minute mom! I’m just combing my hair!” He lied as he threw off the covers and was shocked to find that he was not wearing the boxers he had gone to bed in but a rather snug pair of tighty whities very much like the ones he had bought for his brother the day before. “What the hell? What the actual hell?” He jumped up and slid open his dresser drawer to find it entirely filled with the embarrassing white undies.

The door suddenly swung open as his mom had lost her patience.

“Ah mom! Wait!” Andrew squeaked as he tried unsuccessfully to cover himself.

“Oh Andrew, how long does it take to put on pants?” His mom complained throwing her arms up in exasperation.

“Mom!”

“Oh come on, nothing I haven’t seen before, I’m the one who used to change your diapers remember? Now put on some pants and let’s go.”

“Wait no I… I can’t wear these!” He gestured to his underwear. “All my boxers are gone. Danny must have stolen them to get even with me.”

She furrowed her brow. “What are you talking about Andrew, you’ve never worn boxers. I’m the one who buys all your clothes so I think I’d know.”

“What?” Andrew said confused. Was mom in on it too?

“Look we don’t have time for this right now. I’m going to the car. Put on some pants right now and meet me downstairs. I’ll buy you some boxers at Target after the DMV.”

Andrew angrily grabbed a fresh pair of the tight white briefs and slid them up his legs followed by his dark wash jeans and a green shirt with the Triforce symbol from Legend of Zelda. Funny he thought he’d thrown that shirt away a couple years ago. He didn’t know what the deal was with mom but this had to be Danny’s doing somehow. Maybe he had convinced her to join in on his little prank but he was gonna pay for it later. The drive to the DMV was, ironically, a little more speedy than it should have been and he swore mom ran at least one red light. It figured. Do as I say and not as I do was how most adults operated.

As they arrived at the check in desk Andrew noticed the sign asking for all documents to be out and ready for review and realized with a growing panic that he had forgotten his paperwork at home.

“Mom, wait Mom! I forgot the forms. My birth certificate and stuff.”

“It’s fine Andrew I have all my forms right here. We don’t need your birth certificate. I just need to renew my license and we can go to target to get you some new undies.”

“Wait, what? Your license? I’m supposed to be taking my drivers test today though.”

“Got to be at least 16 and have your learners permit to take the drivers test kiddo.” The DMV employee laughed.

“But Im…”

“Andrew, I need to focus on this so can you please go sit down on those chairs over there and wait for me. I’ll be done in a minute.”

“But…”

“Andrew, now please.”

Andrew pouted and grumbled as he stalked back to the rows of chairs scattered around the room and sat down with a huff. A small boy of maybe 6 years old sat swinging his legs in the row behind him and humming an unfamiliar tune. His head felt funny and being sent to sit and wait like the annoying child behind him wasn’t helping. Wasn’t he supposed to be getting his drivers license? Wasn’t that why they had come in the first place? He stared daggers at the DMV employee who had suggested he was too young. If anything he was too old to not have his license. He squinted one eye and held his fingers up to pretend to pinch the employees head between his fingers. It almost made him feel a little better when he suddenly felt a small finger poking him on his shoulder. Turning around he saw the little boy kneeling on his chair smiling excitedly.

“You gots really cool undies! I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too! Mommy took me to see the movie in the theater and I gots popcorn and soda an everything! It was so cool! Did you see the movie too?” The boy said breathlessly.

Andrew was so lost.

“What…?” He asked.

The boy jumped down off the seat and lifted Andrews shirt to poke at the small of his back .

“We have the same undies see?”

“Hey!” Andrew said angrily pulling away.

The little boy pulled his own shorts down just enough for the TNMT pattern to show.

Andrew was both insulted and irritated that this child was trying to compare those childish undies to Andrews far more plain white briefs and quickly stood up. Looking down to pull his shorts up he noted with a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach the green pattern poking out of his shorts.

Looking around for a restroom, he spotted one across the room and darted towards it. Something was very very wrong. The room felt somehow larger and people seemed to loom over him as he wove through the crowd towards the men’s room door. Finally reaching it he pulled the heavy door open and slid inside. Locking the door he pulled his elastic waisted shorts down just as the motion sensitive lights snapped on to the sight he had been dreading. The plain white underwear he had put on at the house had somehow transformed into an exceedingly childish pair of cartoon print underwear he hadn’t worn since he was a little boy. He turned towards the mirror and was met with an equally shocking sight. His body matched the maturity of his underwear and staring back at him was a smooth faced boy of 8.

“No. Nonono. It’s not possible.” He moaned.

Stepping closer to the mirror he poked his cheek and saw that the boy in the mirror copied his every move.

Somehow he was 8 again. This had to be connected to the events of the morning. Somehow Danny had done this. It made no sense at all but Danny would know how to fix it. He had to. It was his only hope.

Suddenly there was a hard knocking on the bathroom door. “Andy are you in there? Come out here please. Andrew pulled up his shorts and unlocked the door to find his mom looking very annoyed.

“Oh thank god. I turned around and you were gone. You nearly gave me a heart attack. You know you’re supposed to tell me when you have to go to the bathroom. I can’t have you just disappearing like that.” She said sternly.

“Come on I’m all done here and we still have to go shopping real fast before going to pick up your brother from his party.”

Grabbing his hand, she led him to the car walking fairly quickly.

As he walked he felt his shoelaces come undone and start flopping around.

“Wait, mom! My shoelace!” Just as he started to warn her, he stepped on one and pitched forward sharply. His mom, who had still been holding his hand caught him before he could fall and bent down to

embarrassingly tie it for him.

“I can do it myself mom. Really! You don’t need to tie it.” He protested feebly as his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

“I know you can sweetie but we’re in a hurry and I can do it faster. You can show me how good you tie your shoes later ok?”

He gulped at the statement. She was treating him like a little kid. Was he still getting younger? If this continued how young would he get?

Arriving at the car she opened the van door and before he could even try to climb in, he felt her hands under his arm pits as she lifted him up into a booster seat. “Heeyyyy” he whined unhappily.

“Andy, can you please be a good boy for me today? If you’re good I promise I’ll let you have a treat later.”

It seemed the indignities were going to keep happening and he crossed his arms sulkily as she buckled him in.

The drive to the mall was uneventful but he soon found himself kicking his smaller legs in time with the lion king soundtrack his mom had apparently thought he’d enjoy. He did not enjoy it at all but the beat was catchy and he found he was having a hard time sitting still and his bladder was starting to get uncomfortable. He would need to actually use the potty soon.

Danny

It had been a very good day for Danny. When he had woken up earlier that morning everything had seemed different. His underwear drawer had been filled with mature boxer briefs and the bag had vanished without a trace just as the lady had promised.

He had almost been tempted to peek into his brothers room to see if any changes had happened there but he didn’t want to be caught.

After his mom had dropped him off at the party there had been a noticeable difference in the way he felt and the way people treated him. He was more confident and seemed to be almost popular! It was hard to believe but somehow the magic boxers seemed to be altering reality in his favor. He could get used to this.

Andrew

The drive to the Target didn’t take long but Andrew felt like the world seemed to shift again as his mom parked the car. He tried to press down on the button holding him prisoner in the car seat and realized it wasn’t just a booster anymore and it was too hard. The door to the van slid open and his mom clicked the belt release button with ease and picked him up out of it as if he weighed next to nothing. She set him down and grabbed his hand. He started to pull away and felt her grip tighten.

“Ah-ah. Hold mommy’s hand while we are in the parking lot Andy.” She led him quickly into the target and straight to the little boys area. Andy noted with increasing sense of dread that the world seemed bigger and more imposing than before.

“Mom, something’s wrong. I…I’m getting younger and younger.” He stuttered.

“Don’t be silly Andy, you’re growing like a weed which is why we’re even here to get you more clothes. I swear it seems like you grow out everything I buy you in a matter of weeks these days. We may have to start using your brothers hand me downs to save on new outfits but for now I need to get you some new undies and a few new clothes for when you start 1st grade next year.

“1st grade!? But…I just graduated…”

“That’s right, you graduated Kindergarten! You didn’t think you were done with school after that did you silly boy?”

“No but…!”

“Oh look at this outfit! You’ll look adorable in this. Let’s go try it on. Oh come on Mr. Grumpy Face. Remember if you’re a good boy I’ll get you a treat today.”

Andrew followed along sulkily as his mom ushered him back to the fitting rooms. The attendant unlocked a room towards the front and his mom guided him inside by the shoulders.

Almost as soon as the door had closed she started pulling his shirt up over his head.

“Moooooommmm! Stop! I can do it myself!”

“Don’t be fussy Andy we have to try these on you and go pick up your brother and it will all go much faster if I help you.”

She said as she worked his shorts down his legs leaving him feeling very exposed in only his underwear. Looking down in horror he saw that his underwear no longer featured the “heroes in a half shell” but instead had the smiling pups from paw patrol.

“Here try on this shirt.” She handed him a red shirt with a Dinosaur on it. He looked at it sullenly but put it on with a huff of annoyance. It was at least two sizes too big. How humiliating. He was wearing a shirt meant for the littlest of kids and somehow it still hung like a dress on him. At least it covered the undies.

“I think it’s too big mom.”

“Huh, guess I grabbed the wrong size. Sorry kiddo I must not have been paying attention and was thinking of your brothers size at your age. You stay here and I’ll take these back out and grab the right size. Arms up!”

She quickly gathered up all the clothes and swept out the door leaving him alone in the dressing room wearing only a pair of undies fit for a preschooler. Looking around for the clothes he had come in, he realized that she had taken them too. Great just great. Now he was going to have to just stand around in his underwear waiting for her to come back.

Looking in the mirror, he huffed angrily as he took the moment to examine his body. He was definitely younger. His slightly pudgy tummy puffed out over the waistband of his undies and his light hair was as soft as down.

Minutes passed and his bladder was really starting to bother him now. He tried to cross his legs and soon found himself doing the potty dance that all children do when they are trying to hold out for a toilet. If mom wasn’t back in a couple minutes he was gonna burst. He cracked open the door to peek out. Where was she? Why was she taking so long. He had to go so bad but he wasn’t going to pee in the dressing room. He could see the restroom sign by the entrance only feet away but there was no way he was going to run out there in just his underwear. Peeking out again he spotted some shorts and shirts hanging on a go back rack on the far wall. If he could find a pair that fit, he could borrow them to make a break for the bathroom, go pee and probably get back before his mom. Waiting till he was sure no one else was close enough to see he darted out the door to the rack. Grabbing the only two that looked remotely in his size he turned to rush back into the dressing room only to watch the door click closed. No! His heart was racing. It was like a nightmare. He was stuck out here, exposed, in just his underwear.

A new attendant was coming. He could hear her asking another lady how many items she had. He had to get back into the dressing room now. Looking down there was just enough space under the door for him to wiggle under. Dropping to his knees he started to scooch when all of a sudden he felt someone grab his leg and pull.

“Excuse me, this is not a play area! We do not crawl under the doors” The voice of the female attendant was sharp and caused him to jump and bang his head on the door. Suddenly he began to lose control of his bladder and wet himself. “No no no no” he squeeked as he tried to stem the flow but there was no stopping it. Tears sprung into his eyes and his cheeks burned red with embarrassment.

“Awwww buddy. I’m sorry I scared you but you can’t be playing in here…” The female attendant unlocked and opened the door as he stood up, the front of his underwear yellow and dripping.

“Oh dear that’s… ok. Umm. Where’s you mommy sweetie? Let’s go find her so she can get you cleaned up. Come on.”

The attendant took him by his hand as he sniffled and covered his face with his hand.

Suddenly he heard his mother call out.

“Andy! What happened…oh no. Andy I thought we were past this already baby! Come on let’s get you changed.”

“I’m so sorry miss. Thank you for bringing him to me. Where’s the pull-up aisle?

“It’s ok” the attendant said. “My baby brother still has accidents too sometimes. It happens. I can take the clothes you selected and bring them to the dressing room if you want to go change him and come back. Isle 15 right down that way.” She pointed.

Andy was too mortified for words as she led him by the hand to the diaper aisle in just his soggy underwear.

She plucked a package of pull-ups off the shelf and paused before grabbing a pack of size 6 Huggies diapers and baby wipes too.

His ears and face burned crimson. “Hey! What are those for? I don’t need diapers!”

“Hush Andy don’t make a scene. These are just in case we have more accidents. Pull-ups are expensive and you get more for your money with regular diapers.”

“Nooo! But mom I don’t need pull-ups or diapers! Really! It was just an accident! She just scared me and I really had to go potty. Pleeeease mommy no!”

“Stop it Andy. Right now. You’re making a scene and you know as well as I do that this isn’t the first accident you’ve had this week. We’re going to be late to pick your brother up as it is. Let’s get this over with so we can get your new outfit and go.”

Andy began to cry as she dragged him to the bathroom.

She led him inside the ladies room and picked him up and deposited him on the changing counter. She slid the wet briefs down his legs working them off of one foot and then the other.

He covered his eyes as if it would somehow make the complete humiliation go away.

Opening the pack of baby wipes she cleaned his crotch and bottom thoroughly. She turned him around and made a few more passes at his butt crack.

“You’re a little dirty back here Andy. If you need help wiping, after going potty you need to tell me. Otherwise you’ll get a rash.”

Tearing open the package of pull ups she removed one and opened the crinkly garment for him to step into.

“Pleeeaaase nooo mommy. Pleaasse? Can’t I just get some new undies?” Andrew whined.

“Nope. These are your undies for today Andy now come on, step in.”

A guttural sob escaped his lips as he stepped into the leg holes and his mom pulled the papery wasteband up to his tummy.

“Oh Andy, you’re making way too big a deal of this. If you can stay dry today and tomorrow you can have your big boy undies back ok? Plus I’ll even throw in an extra special dessert at dinner time.”

She grabbed some tissues and wiped his cheaks of tears and then held one to his nose.

“Blow like an elephant sweetie.”

He blew his nose his mom squeezing slightly making him produce a silly squeeky sound that did not make him feel any better. After tossing the tissue she set him down and led him by the hand back out into the store. He felt like every eye was on him since he was practically naked except for the pull-up that announced to the world that he couldn’t be trusted to make it to the potty in time.

Returning to the scene of his accident they found that the dressing room had a yellow slippery when wet sign from the recent cleanup and his mom ducked in real fast to grab his shoes and lead him to a new dressing room.

The attendant brought over the clothes Andrews mom had picked out.

“Arms up!” She commanded.

She quickly pulled a green shirt over his head guiding his arms into the proper holes and pulled it down over his tummy.

Looking down he saw Simba from the Lion King on the chest.

“Perfect fit. Well now that we have the proper size I think we are good to go for the rest of these. This is so cute let’s just take the tag off for them to scan and you can wear it out of the store. Here’s your shorts. Step. Good now the other.”

She pulled the shorts up settling them with a crinkle and rustle as they rubbed against the pull-up reminding him again of its presence.

The rest of the trip was a bit of a blur as he had been plopped into the seat of the cart to expedite the rest of the shopping process and then plopped into his car seat for the drive over to pick up his big brother. No! Not his big brother, his little brother! He rubbed his eyes with his fists. His head felt funny, like it was stuffed with clouds and made it very hard to think clearly and the steady movement of the car was making him sleepy.

His mom looked at him in the rear view mirror.

“Awwww someone’s all tuckered out from all the excitement today. Go ahead and take a little nap if you want to sweetie.” She cooed.

He pouted. Trying to wake himself up from his stupor. No sleep! He needed to focus. He needed to make Danny help him change back before it got worse. He stared out the window at the cars going by. But soon the rhythmic vibrations of the car and the hypnotic passing of scenery lulled him to sleep.

Danny

As the party wound down the guys went out front to throw a football around on the lawn while they waited to be picked up. Even his throw seemed to have improved. Could this all have been just because of the boxers? Some kind of magic seemed to be at play right? This must have been how his brother usually felt. Always popular and athletic, Andrew had a natural charm amongst his peers that seemed to make socializing come easy. Danny paused as his brother came to mind. He wondered what effect the magic had had on him. What had the lady said again? Something about matching his maturity? He smiled imagining his brother being forced to wear the very white underwear that he had tried to foist on Danny.

His moms van pulling into the driveway interrupted his thoughts. He waved bye to his friends and ran up to the passenger side where mom had rolled down the window. “Hey sweetie, did you have fun? I’m sorry I’m late, your brother had an accident in Target and I had to change him. Be quiet as you get in, he’s sleeping.”

The sentence bewildered Danny.

“An accident? Like what kind of accident?” He asked as he slowly slid the door open to find a sleeping 4 year old Andy sucking his thumb in a car seat.

“He peed his undies again while we were out shopping but it’s ok. I think he’s just not quite ready for big boy undies yet. We’ll keep trying.”

Danny’s mind flooded with memories of his brother potty training and running around the house in his new big boy undies so proud. For a moment he hung between two realities. One in which he had an older brother that was a jerk to him and one in which he was the older brother and Andy looked up to him.

Andy began to stir and his sleepy eyes popped open with a furrowed brow and a look of confusion.

A sudden look of recognition came into his eyes as he spotted Danny.

“Danny!” He shouted.

“Hey little guy, have a nice nap? Danny asked as he slid into the seat next to his brother and buckled in.

Andy made a face like he smelled something stinky and crossed his arms petulantly.

“Not little. You did this to me on purpose. I know it. Turn me back.”

Danny smiled mischievously.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about little bro. Did you have a bad dream?”

“No! It wasn’t a dream! I was big and you did something to make me like this.”

Danny looked thoughtfully for a moment and then nodded to himself. Leaning over he whispered quietly.

“I think you look cute buddy. Besides it was time to switch things up a bit. Things are better this way.”

“Moooooom! Danny’s being mean! He… took something and he won’t give it back!” Andy fussed.

Their mom looked back at them and sighed.

“Oh Danny, I told you not to wake him up. He’s been a little grumpy pants all day.”

“Ah sorry I didn’t mean to wake him up mom.” Danny said. “I think he just had a bad dream. He thinks he’s supposed to be the older brother.”

Their mother laughed “Awww I’m sorry baby,  that’s not how that works. You’re always gonna be Danny’s little brother.”

Waaaaaaaaaaah. Andy cried.
