What do you do when you look seven years old but you’re actually a college student in your late teens? For Kathleen’s entire life, she had fought against people treating her much younger than her actual age. Feeling obligated to grow up fast to show people she wasn’t the age of her size, Kathleen never let her inner child out. Tired of fighting against the world, she explores the adult submissive world. What she finds, however, is an enjoyment of regression. Had she made a mistake? Would life be better if she just let people treat her the way she looks at seven years old?

While it was still dark out, Megan woke up because the bed was shaking. She heard Katie crying above her. It sounded like the girl was tossing around in her sleep. She asked, “Katie? You ok?” She got no reply. After about almost a minute, the shaking and crying stopped. She asked again, “Katie? You ok there?” Again, she got no reply. Megan drifted back asleep.

Granny woke up the girls on Christmas morning. Megan was sent to go potty and brush her teeth. After a dry bottom, Tina was the first one to get dressed in her gift from Grandma. Katie soon followed in with the dry bottom and was dressed in her homemade red Christmas dress. When Megan returned, Katie told it was time to brush her teeth, but first, she needed to help Tina brush hers. They didn't get far out of the room before Granny reminded them to put on their slippers to protect the bottom of their tights.

When they were done, they wandered into the common room to join the rest of the Olsen family. The two girls were directed to sit at the table for breakfast. Megan soon joined them. Grandma covered their dresses with the pinafores before setting bacon and eggs in front of each girl.

Daddie said as he ate his own breakfast, “Katie must not have had a nightmare. I didn't hear her during the night.’

Katie just blushed in response.

“Katie woke me up when everyone sleeping,” Megan said. “Was she having nightmare?”

“I did?” Katie looked lost.

“I guess I spoke too soon,” Daddie looked at Katie and then back at Megan, “Katie had something really scary happen to her, and she has been having nightmares ever since. I’m sorry she woke you up.”

“Oh,” Megan said, getting up and going over to hug Katie.

When breakfast was done, the girls were directed to sit in front of the Christmas tree, minus the pinafores. The rest of the family also joined the gathering.

Grandma started handing out presents. Tina got the first present. It was from Grandma and Grandpa. Megan's gift soon followed. It was a lovely dress. Now, Mike would have pouted at getting clothes, but this was Megan, and it was exactly what she asked for.

Katie was the next to receive a gift. It was a Lego Belville set, the Winter Wonder Palace. Examining the box, she discovered it had 168 pieces, including a King, two princesses, a pony, and a cute little bunny. Katie thought it looked like it will be fun to assemble. Unlike the typical Lego flair aimed at boys, this one was definitely aimed at girls.

The kids watched as the rest of the family got gifts from Grandma and Grandpa. When that was over, the gifts were randomly handed out. Katie watched with interest as her gift to Tina was opened up. The youngest cousin was very excited about the Aurora Princess Doll. The regressed girl knew she was supposed to be seven and go with Daddie with the gifts, but she had money to burn and was excited to get gifts for all her family members.

Katie had just been given a gift from the Rose family. She opened it up to discover it was the My Little Pony Twist and Style Parlor. She smiled at another toy. She was actually happy to receive toys. Internally, her two ages were arguing. The nineteen-year-old was saying she should be upset that she was getting toys. The seven-year-old was sticking out her tongue and saying toys are fun to play with. The little girl side pointed out that she was in control of the body now.

After the other family members got gifts, Daddie was happy to receive a coffee cup that said ‘World’s Greatest Daddy.’ Katie was sad that she had to settle for a Y instead of IE. Daddie didn’t seem to mind, though, as her stuffing was hugged out of her. A few more family members later, Megan got her gift from the little girl. The part-time girl, part-time boy, had been hard to buy for, specifically who to buy for. She went with grandma’s prediction, which one she had to buy for. Katie decided to go with the same theme with both of the sisters. Megan got a Belle Princess Doll. Again, the new girl was delighted to receive it.

A couple more gifts later, Grandma handed the regressed girl a large box. She looked at the label to see that it was from Daddie. She thought the box size was very suspicious. She opened it up to be greeted with the Samantha Doll she had been asking for forever. She ran over to Daddie and jump-hugged him before sitting down nicely again.

One of the gifts from Megan’s parents was a new wig with long brown hair. Mommie said, “Soon, we have to return your borrowed wig. We borrowed it way too long.”

Katie soon got five similar-sized gift-wrapped packages tied together with a green ribbon. She looked at the label to see it was from Daddie again. She unwrapped each one to be greeted by Samantha’s books, two through six. She figured that book one came with the doll.

Aunty and Uncle were happy to receive the same gift she gave Aunty Sara and Uncle Sam. The flavored coffees went over very well. Likewise, Grandma and Grandpa were quite pleased with their selection of fine chocolates. Grandma asked teasingly, “Are you trying to ruin our diets, Princess?”

Katie just blushed in response.

Grandma addressed the girls, “Megan, please sit next to Katie. Tina, please sit on the other side.” She then handed Katie a large box. “To Katie, Megan, and Tina, from the family.”

Katie, with her cousin's help, unwrapped the gift to discover another wrapped gift. She handed that gift to Megan to unwrap. The older girl looked at the adults with a questioning look. The adults just smirked.

Megan likewise discovered a wrapped gift inside her box. She handed that gift to Tina to unwrap.

Tina unwrapped her gift to reveal just a piece of paper. She handed the paper to Katie to read.

Katie read out loud, “Katie, Megan, and Tina are invited to join Stacy, Heidi, and Bobbie Jo at Disney World at a later date that works with Riverville schools, Mountain College, Clearwater schools, and Madison schools.” Three excited hyper voices all went off at once in response to that letter.

After that gift, Katie noticed that underneath the tree was empty, and the large pile of gifts had all been given out. She could have sworn that she had more gifts for Daddie under there. Granted, they were from Kathleen to Adam, but they were still put under the tree yesterday. She went up to Grandma to question her about the missing gifts.

“They were under the wrong tree. They will reappear under the correct tree.”

Katie just nodded confusingly.

Aunty told the girls to go play for a bit before lunch.

Sara Bullard came up to where her daughter was playing. “Stacy, there is one more gift you didn't get during the party.”

Stacy gave her Mommie a confused look before opening the gift. She was rewarded with a letter. She read, “Stacy is invited to join Katie, Megan, Heidi, Tina, and Bobbie Jo at Disney World at a later date that works with Riverville schools, Clearwater schools, Madison schools, and Mountain College.” She smiled big time and tackle hugged her Mommie. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mommie. Why Clearwater? Katie doesn't actually go there.”

“Nope, she doesn't. However, Katie’s Grandma does work there.”

“Oh.”

Soon after the Olsen extended family gathered for Christmas lunch, Grandma told Megan to use the bathroom. The other two girls were directed to the bedroom for dry bottoms. When all the girls were back from their tasks, Grandpa said, “Let us go to the bowling alley to do our Christmas Day bowling tradition. If Adam wants to take the three girls, I can get Alexa and Brian in my car.”

After everyone put on coats, they headed out to the cars. The two vehicles soon pulled into the bowling alley parking lot. Daddie released the three girls and directed them into the building. They met up with Grandma, who was paying, “Hello, we are a family of eight. We would like two lanes, one with bumpers. The girls are three, five, and seven. The rest are adults.” She went on to tell which shoes each person needed.

The family went to their assigned lanes, and the girls had a lane to themselves. Their gutters had a white pillow-like thing to block it. They also had a ramp to roll their bowling balls down. After the adults helped them change their shoes to fashionable pink and white bowling shoes, they started to bowl. The girls weren’t really keeping score. They were just having fun. The adults, on the other hand, were being very competitive.

A five-year-old girl walked up to Alexa and said, “Hello, Mrs. Rose.”

“Why hello, Lauren. Where is your family?”

“Mommie and Daddie are over there,” Lauren said, pointing.

The neighbor girl walked over to the girls and said, “Hello, Tina. I like your dress. Who are these girls, and where is …” Lauren’s eyes got very big, and she asked Megan, “I forgot your name, my friend.”

Megan meekly answered, barely audible, “Megan.”

Lauren told her, “Your dress is pretty, Megan.”

Again, Megan meekly said, “Thank you.” She eeped as Lauren hugged the dickens out of her.

“You introduce me?”

Megan softly said, “Lauren, our cousin, Katie. Katie, Lauren, who lives across the street.”

While the four girls were softly talking, Megan’s Mommie was watching to see if she had to rescue her daughter, which didn’t go unnoticed by her own Mother. She couldn’t get a handle on Megan’s face. She didn’t look scared or upset. But then again, she didn’t look happy. She did figure that Lauren Anker knew who Megan was.

After talking to the girls for a bit, Lauren mentioned, “I talk later, Megan and Tina. I need to go back to Mommie and Daddie.”

“Ok, Lauren,” Megan said with a wave. After she left, Megan said, “Not sure about that.”

After their time was done, the girls, who had not been keeping score, couldn't tell you who won. However, on the adult side, Alexa would gladly tell you she won by one point.

The family headed back to the cars, and Adam followed his Dad as they headed to the family's usual Christmas dinner location. After parking at the Chinese buffet, he escorted the three girls into the building. Grandpa said, “Five adults, please. The girls are 7, 5, and 3.”

Katie followed the other family members toward the table. She listened to Daddie order an iced tea for her. She then was led to the buffet to pick out her meal.

Once she was sitting at the table, Grandma shoved a napkin in her neckline. She looked where Megan was sitting and discovered her cousin matched her in the napkin treatment.

After Daddie returned with his own meal, he made sure everything was bite-sized for the regressed girl. Katie and Tina were escorted to the ice cream area by Granny after they were done eating.

Katie did think this place was boring. She had nothing to do after she was done eating. There was nothing to color or keep her occupied. She looked at Daddie and noticed that he had another full plate. She did convince Uncle Brian to switch seats, so she was sitting between Tina and Megan. The three girls tried to keep themselves entertained quietly. How quiet they were would depend on your definition of quiet.

After the adults were done, the family was again ushered out to the cars. The destination this time was the Olsen family house. After they parked in the driveway, Daddie opened the door behind him to release Tina. Megan, who was sitting in the middle booster, crawled over the child seat that Tina had been sitting in. Katie was the last to be released.

After they were allowed in the house, Grandma instructed, “Girls, it is seven-thirty. You three may play for a bit before having to get ready for bed.”

Aunty Alexa questioned, “Tina and Katie, do either of you need a change?”

Katie blushed before nodding her head.

Aunty led the two girls down the hall to get dry bottoms. After the change was done, Katie suggested to her cousins that they play Candy Land.

Grandma Olsen walked into the room before saying, “Girls, it is time to get ready for bed.” She started with the youngest. When it was the regressed girl's turn, she removed Katie’s dress and tights. She replaced it with the nightie she got at Thanksgiving. The oldest cousin looked at her younger cousins and noticed they matched. All three girls were sent to brush their teeth. When they returned and were tucked in their respective beds, Grandma read them a bedtime story. She turned off the light as she left the room.
