It had been a few weeks since the whole toddler incident and the Maitlands had been unusually distant from Lydia, Charles, and Delia. This concerned Lydia and worried Charles and Delia equally. The two ghosts weren't even talking with them as much as they used to anymore. How were the Deetzes going to get Adam and Barbara to start talking to them again?

Lydia sat in the kitchen, quietly doing her homework when Adam and Barbara passed through. That gave her an idea...she was going to ask them if the reason why neither ghost wasn't talking to her, her dad, and her stepmom as much was because of the whole toddler incident.

"Hey," Lydia called out, eyeing the Maitlands as they walked right past her. "Do you guys still not remember anything from when you were turned into toddlers accidentally by Betelgeuse?"

"Don't remind us of that ever again," an annoyed Adam grumbled, heading into the next room over with an equally annoyed Barbara following close behind. It was clear to Lydia that they didn't like the fact that they were turned into toddlers by Betelgeuse.

"I was just asking." Lydia sighed and laughed, rolling her eyes. "Sheesh."

That proved it. The toddler incident felt like it was the reason why neither one of the ghosts were talking to Lydia, Charles, and Delia.

But hey, at least they said something to her. That was a good sign...right?
