Mother's Amnesia

New Sister

Mike ignored his six-year-old sister Agnes and went to his room. He started playing on his PC, then suddenly came an advertisement for a dating site. He could list the characteristics of his ideal girl.
Mike: She must be short, slim physique, long brown hair and green eyes! Characteristically she must be delicate, submissive and extremely frivolous! Two years younger than me! A name like Nicole...
He sent the data and went to sleep.

The next day the 18-year-old on leaving school arrived devastated at the hospital.
Doctor: Nothing serious, take it easy!
Mike: What's wrong with my mother?
Doctor: She got an email and burst out laughing, lost her balance and hit her head. Just a bit of jolted memory, no trauma.
Mike: What email?
Doctor: It was from a game you played.
He saw him laughing. Mike looked at the email:
"Sorry but we couldn't find any Nicole with the following requirements:
She must be short, slim physique, long brown hair and green eyes! Characteristically she must be delicate, submissive and extremely frivolous! Two years younger than me! A name like Nicole."
Mike: I can explain...
Doctor: Take it easy! The problem is that, - he was trying not to laugh - your mother after hit the head is convinced that you are Nicole...
Mike: What? I am male!
Doctor: She is convinced that she has two daughters!
Mike: Tell her the truth!
Doctor: We can't, she risks side effects. It's not so dramatic though, you can continue to be yourself but she will treat you like a girl.
Mike: I'll just avoid having friends come up to the house until she gets over it!
Doctor: Exactly! Even the clothes will be irrelevant! Dress as you like and even grow a beard if you like, so much in your mind at the moment it won't change.
There and then he was not overly concerned...he had no idea what followed....

He heard her bring Agnes to take her to school.
Elisa: Are you awake yet?
Mike: Yes mom. - he finished getting dressed.
He walked out of the room.
Elisa: Nicole where do you think you're going like that! Aren't you going to put any makeup on? And those stakes in your face?
He was pushed into the bathroom. He managed to keep her out. Mike shaved his beard to perfection; he didn't have a single hair left. On makeup he would work it out later. But he began to panic.
He went out.
Mike: I don't feel well enough to go to school....
Elisa: But I wasn't planning to send you there today anyway! I have other plans! I have to make you the girl you always wanted to be!
He felt her satisfied. He feared how the situation would continue.

Later he heard her return; she was together with the principal. Mike was extremely puzzled. He saw his mother go to the bathroom.
Principal: Mike I'm so dismayed, the doctors explained to me about the terrible situation you got into....
Mike: Why you are here?
Dean: I just popped in quickly, I wanted to make sure you took the situation well and what is going to happen.
Mike: Meaning?
Dean: Your mother is convinced that you are Nicole, right?
He nodded.
Dean: But in the email you wrote, she was not the same age as you....
He blanched and sat down. He was having a panic attack.
Dean: We have to string your mother along for the time being, I'm sorry. It will only be for a few months! Think of it this way, no one you know will see you as Nicole! You will go from being 18-year-old Mike in fifth grade to 16-year-old Nicole in third!
He was shocked. The mother arrived.
Elisa: Nicole what's going on? Are you happy to be 16 again? In our country we still have debutante ball at this age! Isn't it wonderful Niky?
He cried in despair.
Elisa: You are so happy you are moved Nicole!
He felt himself being hugged.
