“Alright son, lets go to the backyard,” Steve said, carrying his quarter inch son between two fingers. He could only imagine the terror and confusion that was racing through his sons mind right now. As he entered the backyard, he realized that Debbie had gone inside, probably to go to the bathroom or something.
“Now Derek, you skipped biology, right?” Steve asked, raising Derek up to his ear.
Derek felt incredibly tiny people held up to the head of a giant like his father. “Yes....I’m sorry!” he screamed. “What’re you going to do with me?”
Steve just smiled. “Relax son, we’re gonna have a biology lesson.” He then lowered Derek down into the jungle like backyard. Turning the shrink ray on himself, Steve fired and dwindled down to 1/4 inch tall.
“You alright?” Steve asked his son who was standing there with his jaw agape.
“Yeah....why are we so tiny out here though?”
“Well you see, I wanted you to see how size impacts a creatures place in the food chain. Imagine what would happen to us if a wasp from the neighbors yard, or that possum from last night were in our yard right now,” Steve said.
Derek thought for a second before he realized what would happen. “Well we’d be dead,” he said ominously.
“Yep, luckily we have the shrink ray to get us out of any situations,” Steve paused for a second. “Tell you what, let’s hike back to the house, then I’ll grow us back and it’ll be punishment served for you.”
Derek actually likes the sound of that. It could’ve been a lot worse. The father and son began the long walk to their patio at a quarter inch tall with Steve giving Derek a lecture on biology the whole time.
Meanwhile, another of the family members had just entered the backyard. Who was it?
