Did you like my little spoof??😊
Hey, you did the work! All I had to do was completely write a whole chapter and post it.
No effort whatsoever...........😜
Here's your prize!!!

*******Joel's POV********
I was driving home after dropping by IHOP for Sydney to have her pancakes. She had fallen asleep on the way back home. I parked in the driveway, and carried Sydney into the house and put her in her bed.
I went back downstairs and heard someone throwing up in the downstairs bathroom. I rushed downstairs to see who it was and it was Moriah. Mom was Standing By Moriah (For those who get the reference, 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼)
holding her hair. I quickly took over and after Moriah was finished, I put her to bed with her Elsa. Nothing was weirder than handing my grown wife a stuffed toy!
I rushed down the stairs to find mom, who was in the Kitchen washing dishes.
"'Mom, what happened to Moriah? Based on the looks of that bathroom, she's been doing that a while."
Mom turned the water off, dried her hands and pulled me into the pantry. She closed the door and pulled a tiny white stick from behind the bread box. She handed it to me and stuck her hands in her apron pocket.
"What is this?" I asked, playing a bit on the dumb side.
"Oh, Joel don't be so naive! It's obviously a pregnancy test. And a positive one to be more specific." She replied, a little bit irritated.
"Is it Moriah's?"
Mom only nodded.
"Oh my goodness, a baby?! How is that going to work with the state she's in?" I sat down on the floor rubbing my forehead with my hand and running my hand through my hair.
"That is what your father, Courtney and I have been trying to figure out. You came too, we just don't know how, or if the same will happen to the other two." Mom said with a sigh.
We sat in silence as we both thought of a reasonable explanation for the problem.
"How did we go into the state in the first place?" I asked calmly.
"I don't know. All I do know is that Courtney wakes up to her own husband acting weird, then getting a phone call from your daughter saying you two were fighting and acting weird. She's been playing "mommy" to more than two kids for the past two weeks."
I just hung my head. Whatever happened to us, must've been something dealing with the kids. Since we were acting like kids. I stood there thinking for a moment.
"You said Sydney wasn't affected, and neither were Jude and Phoenix. So what if the cause has something to do with them?"
Mom just shrugged her shoulders. "Could be. But what's even more bewildering, is how you suddenly snapped out of it."
"Yeah, that is pretty strange. I think we just need to start asking children what happened the night before we were supposed to go on tour."
Mom nodded. "That sounds like a plan. And if we can get anything out of them, we can maybe get Moriah and Luke back to normal as well."
Once we knew what we were going to be doing, we walked out of the pantry and back into the kitchen. We both heard giggles coming from the play room, and immediately targeted the messy place.
The room was HORRENDOUS when we got there. But with 6 "children" in the house, that was to be expected. All of the kids were in there, except Moriah of course.
"Hey Luke? Why don't we go pick out a movie?" My mom said, holding her hand out. Luke nodded, sticking his thumb in his mouth. He got up and went with Mom, while I knelt to the other three's level.
"So, do any of you know what caused us to turn, children?"
Sydney and Jude shook their heads. Phoenix just played with the car mat.
"Ok, think back to the night before tour. It couldn't have been the food. Cause you all are that too. And you're all normal. So, we're thinking something happened among you three."
Jude and Sydney looked at each other.
"The only thing I can think of, is she missed you playing with her. She said she wished you were her age." Jude said pointing at Sydney. Sydney hid her face as if she was in trouble.
"Hey, Syd, you're not in trouble. We just want to figure out how to get mommy and Uncle Luke back."
She nodded her head, confirming what Jude had said. "So you're saying that, Sydney's wish 'came true'." I said, confused. Jude nodded.
"So how am I back to normal? Did you somehow reverse it, cupcake?" I said to Sydney.
She looked at me blankly for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"I saw you and uncle wook in da aiw matwess togever, and you wewe sucking your thumb"
I could feel my face flush red. "Ok, then what happened?"
"Den, I thaid I wanted my daddy back."
"Ok, so you wished for me to be back?"
She nodded "And here I am. Well, this....this sounds really wrong. And, kinda superstitious. Come on, you three. Let's go find Grandma and Uncle Luke." I stood up and walked into the living room, with the other kids following me. Luke was curled up on the couch, sucking his thumb and watching Larry Boy. Mom was in the kitchen once again, finishing breakfast. The kids sat down on the floor, watching the video, while I headed into the kitchen.
"Hey, mum? I think I found out what happened. You aren't going to believe it, but Sydney wished for us to be that way."
"Are you serious? How on earth is that possible? Wishes are just a bunch of lunacy!"
I laughed when she said that. "I told them that. But, apparently we thought wrong."
"Hmmmmmm, I don't know. I guess, just play along with it."
"I will."
********Unknown POV**********
I was watching them through the window. Listening to their every word. I brought down my equipment, laughed, then pulled out my phone. I called my boss.
"I've got the tape. You ready for this?" I said.
"Bring it in." He said. I gathered all my things and headed to my car. This job is awesome.
