Timmy Turner ate a breakfast of ham and eggs with his parents. While he ate, he was looking at some newspaper comics that somehow had the faces of Cosmo and Wanda on them. "Aren't you forgetting about today's homework, Timmy," the Wanda in the Peanuts strip asked.

"No, I got it here," Timmy said confidently before reaching for his schoolwork to show Wanda that in fact he did get it done. But…

…he couldn't find it.

"I'm doomed," he said.

He ran.

He ran in the direction of the stairs.

Wanda held her forehead. "How many times must he do that before he remembers his homework?"

"At least we can say this much about our Timmy," Cosmo said from the Garfield strip above. "He's consistent."

Wanda sighed.

Upstairs in his room, Timmy was tossing papers all over his floor from a big pile of them by his bed. "Where's that report? Where's that report," he repeated. "Where is that report?"

"Timmy," his mother called. "The bus is here."

He thought that he was going to have to go to school without it. But miraculously, he spotted it on top of the pile. Now how had missed that? But he didn't have time to worry about that then. He would have to wait until later. He had a bus to catch, lest he be late again. He knew what would happen if he missed the bus.

Francis.

Timmy zoomed back down the stairs and back into the kitchen, where his mother was waiting for him with a brown paper bag in her hands. "I something special for you, Sweetie. Liver and yam sandwiches with sliced pineapples for dessert."

"But that's what Dad likes, Mom. There's no way that I'm going to eat that yucky stuff."

"Oh, well then." Mrs. Turner looked very surprised. "But what did I give your father." Her eyes widened and she pulled a couple of bills out of her pant pocket. "Here is some money then." She handed them to Timmy and kissed him on the top of the head.

Timmy didn't enjoy it but let her do it. "I love you, Tommy. See you after school."

Unless Vicky's babysitting, Timmy thought as he left for the bus.

After he had found a seat on the bus, he sat alone except for his fairy godparents. "I wish that my parents didn't hire Vicky to be my babysitter anymore."

"Oh come on, cheer up, Timmy," said Cosmo. "Without her, you would never have met us."

"That's true, I guess," Timmy sighed. "But that's why I said, 'anymore'."

"Okay, here we go," Wanda said.

Both her and her husband waved their wands. Poof. Nothing apparent happened.

At first.

"What happened?" Wanda suddenly said. "What am I doing here?"

"Wanda, are you feeling all right?" Cosmo said. "You don't look yourself."

"Wanda? My name is Maria. Maria Turner." Wanda looked down at her body. "And why am I so short?"

Cosmo clutched Wanda's arm. "I think you'll going to need some psychotrckic help." He waved his wand and both fairies were gone.

"This can't be good," Timmy said.

"Are you talking yourself again?" A.J. was leaning over the back of Timmy's seat with his best bud Chester.

"Yes. Why?"

"No reason," A. J. said.

Chester was less kind. "It's just that we're beginning to think that you might be a total loon." A. J. elbowed Chester in the side. "What?"

Timmy shrugged. "No, that's all right. Who isn't a loon these days."
