Well, that was a close poll! Here are the results 😊
1. A man is eager to help his mother regress his little sister to a toddler, but is less excited about his own return to infancy - Rick (out of several male AR tales with high votes - this was the most popular)
2. Steve's psychology friend provides music to hypnotize his annoying roommate, but why is the music a lullaby? - Dean
3. Most targets are no match ...

Robbie understands the reality of Friday afternoon in the office. His team might still be at their desks their minds are on other things; like who’s getting the first round in at The Plough. Like whether to make a night of it or go home with a carry-out and watch A Question of Sport.
It’s been bad enough, with the return to work after the pandemic. The so-called ‘hybrid’ arrangement where Robbie’s team works from ho...

They like the town, from what they’ve seen so far.
“A sweet little hamlet,” Deb says as they arrive at the rented house.
“What is a hamlet?” Jeff asks. Because sometimes his wife uses the most pretentious words, and sometimes he likes to call her on it.
“Little town,” replies Deb. She takes a deep breath, because her husband often likes to split hairs when he’s nervous, and it always makes her want to ...

1. A couple arrives in Parkdale, but are confused about why their new house has a fully stocked nursery for twins. - Rick
2. Tom is confused when his mother-in-law tells him to wear a nappy for the car ride; or has he always had to wear them just in case? - Byron

Diane buys first class train tickets. She can spend money how she wants now; she’s literally holding the purse strings.
It’s a nicer carriage. Better seats, better service. Better people? Not necessarily, Diane has known plenty of wealthy idiots. But she decided to splash out for the ride back to London. First class travel for Mummy and baby.
Christopher looks the part; first-class to...

While Diane talks to her mother on the phone, she twirls her hair with the fingers of her free hand. The shiny, fluffy hair that she can’t stop touching. She smiles, stroking the skin around her mouth and eyes. What’s her skincare regime now? Just…being alive. Think of the time she’ll save, no more desperate potions and creams. Just more time she can devote to bath time and bedtime...

He hasn’t spoken since he regained consciousness. Not a word, not a peep. It’s probably the shock. They didn’t take away his tongue, after all. His vocal cords are still intact. Yes, it must be the shock.
“Christopher, it’s going to be okay,” says Diane. “By tomorrow, you’ll look as good as me!”
He doesn’t reply. For what it’s worth, he would agree that his wife looks amazing. As pretty and lively as she did when the first met, Fresh...

John doubles his allowance by watching his little brother Kevin on Friday nights.
Date night, his parents call it, making John squeamish. Nothing worse than old people acting like they’re not old. John himself is 14, old enough to want a date night of his own. Next year he will be a freshman in high school, after all. Compared to Kevin, a first grader freshly turned 6, John may as well be an old man.
So, Friday night is date night for his parents and brother night for t...

Waiting in line to pick up a prescription, Elizabeth is tempted to keep holding her daughter’s hand. To stop the girl wandering through the automatic doors and into some maniac’s car.
The divorced mother-of-one feels a stiffness in her chest, a return of a feeling where there isn’t enough space to take a deep enough breath...

1 Chris's wife turned him into a little boy. He just has to pretend nothings changed long enough to get out of Parkdale - Dean
2= Elizabeth hires a nanny for her teenage daughter, but Melissa Jane insists that Elizabeth isn't the mommy, she's the baby sister. - Byron
2= Baby sitting his younger brother, John decides it might be relaxing to just play along when Kevin starts pretending to be the older brother - Dean

It’s not a long way, according to Ashley. Just a little walk. “A little stroll in a stroller!”
Being in the buggy feels different this time. It must be the driver.
Ashley says that that they must be careful, that someone from the daycare might follow them, and Robert had been filled with dread, imagining an adult-sized version of the bear, like someone i...

There’s no instant getaway. Ashley makes promises – I’m going to get you out of here, it’s going to be okay – and then takes Robert back to the baby room and leaves him with another daycare worker. And then Robert suffers through a morning of activities – a sensory table with its sand, birdseed, popcorn kernels, and other things he has no interest in exploring with his chubby little fingers – and then the music and movement session, where he is jiggled around enthusiast...

“Thank you,” says Robert, sitting on a changing mat. He can sit up by himself, one of the few things he can do without help. He could probably make a good effort at crawling, but he hasn’t tried that. He has no interest in crawling, just as he has no interest in playing Peek-a-boo. He wants his old life back, with his old job, old car, and…how about a new girlfriend?
They’re alone in the nurse’s office with the door shut. It’s as close as private as Ashley could make it.

Robert had chosen the first few minutes to speak to Ashley, when the children are being dropped off. After parents leave their precious offspring at Mr. Fluffles, there’s a relatively quiet period in the baby room when Robert feels at his mental best. Free from his girlfriend’s attentions, Robert can gather his thoughts. Compared to later in the day, after free play and exploration, after the sensory table, and in particular after music and movement. After all of that, Robert tends to fee...

Mr. Fluffles Daycare
It’s Robert’s fifth day when he says something.
“Help.”
The daycare worker, a bubbly blonde called Ashley who can’t be older than twenty, pauses as she pulls down the zipper of Robert’s footed pajamas.
She stares, and then she smiles. Because there’s no way the baby just asked for help.
Help. Hep. “Did Bobby just have a burp?” she asks brightly. She pats her own chest. “Are you all burpy?” She pulls the...

“You look amazing,” London tells her mother. Because Mom really does. Sitting on the patio, bathed in early-morning sunshine (before the heat gets all kinds of stupid) London can’t remember her mother ever looking this youthful. And an unasked question: How much did that cost? Although Mom can spend her money how she pleases. Both her daughters are grown up with promising careers. They don’t need Mommy to feed or clothe them.
The rejuvena...

Every morning that summer, it was the same.
“Myles! Wanna play hopscotch with us?”
His six and seven-year-old sisters, Ava and Ella, would camp out by the chalked diagram on the driveway. Before any other game, before breakfast (before even getting dressed sometimes, because Mom was spoiling them) they got busy with the ten squares.
Myles perched at the kitchen bar, eating his bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and he heard the girls outside. calling out the numbers as they ...

In her sailor dress and knee socks, wearing a toddler’s underwear, she has never felt so helpless.
The basest of French returns to Cassie. Ah, merde.
She turns to face her father. Who isn’t what she thought he was. Who is a whole different animal.
Dad points at Cassie’s phone. “You can continue your chat when Sara Beth gets here, we have to get ready.”
He’s telling her to hang up? Seriously?
Cassie barks out a laugh. And then she looks down a...

“Hi honey,” Dad says, looking up from the stove when she enters the kitchen. Just 'honey'.
As she stands there, her dress decorated with a red bow as if she's a birthday present, Cassie feels her chest tighten – is there a part of her that wants Dad to see what she sees? Does she want to go back to those simpler, sweeter times?
But Dad doesn't use the nickname...

Cassie stares at the contents of her closet, and her Depends gets a little wetter.
A collection of adult-sized frilly and smocked dresses that weren’t there last night.
These are her mother’s clothes. These are the outfits of the forever innocent.
Cassie tries to swallow the lump in her throat, but her mouth is still dry, the opposite of her underwear. She reaches out and flicks through the hangers. She can feel the taffeta skirt, she can stroke the puffy sleeves. If it...

Cassie wakes up, certain that she has slept in. A mix of anxiety, grief, and shame makes her mouth feel as dry as the desert. She has missed the ride to Blountville, Tennessee. She has missed her flight to Atlanta. And she is absolutely not going to Paris.
She sits up in bed, feels dampness in her protective underwear, and knows that for the first time since it began, bedwetting is the least of her troubles. She looks over at the Paris map; she has missed everythi...
