I woke up the next morning at 6:00 with a little bit of a headache. I walked out to the kitchen. As I stood at the refrigerator getting a drink of juice an incredible feeling came over me. I glanced over at the microwave and the time was 6:02. Suddenly the room and everything in the room seemed to race by me at 100 miles per hour standing still. Everything looked like when the Enterprise takes off on Star Trek! Then it stopped. I felt perfectly fine but definitely different. Everything in the room seemed slightly different but I couldn't put my finger on it. I'm definitely not drinking whatever I drank last night ever again! I went to the bathroom and got ready for work. I stepped into the shower and noticed I had to adjust the nozzle. I guess Wendy had cleaned it and knocked it out of position. I got dressed and kissed her as she lay sleeping.
I got into my car and noticed the seat seemed a little too far away from the pedals. I thought to myself that Wendy must have moved the seat forward to drive us home last night and then put it back too far and dismissed it.
Driving into work I looked at the digital clock in front of the bank. It read 8:30 and then flashed the date: 2/7/12. I just remembered that I had an appointment with some clients on the 7th and so I drove faster to get into work earlier. I finally got to work and that's when I noticed a few other things that were out of whack! I walked by Red and noticed I had to look up slightly to look her in the eye. I quickly looked down at her feet to see if she was standing on something. She wasn't standing on anything, just her 3" heels. 'How could this be?' I thought! I know I was just taller than her in those heels yesterday by a good 2"! As I walked down the hall I ran into Stan. He was about 2 or 3 inches taller than me also. 'What the hell was going on here?' I thought! I walked down to the lunchroom and I picked up and egg and cheese muffin. I reached into my wallet and pulled out the money to pay.
As I put the change back into my wallet, I noticed my driver's license. What the? It was screwed up! Apparently they recorded my height wrong. It said I was only 6'1" tall!
How and what the? I've been 6'5" since high school! I never noticed the screw up before and I started to wonder. The rest of the day I tried to avoid everyone and referred my clients to my brother. As hard as I tried it seemed everyone wanted to see me.
My dad even dropped by and I noticed he was slightly taller than me, probably about an inch or so. He had always been 6'2" ever since I could remember and I grew taller than him in my junior year in high school! I was starting to wonder if the height on my license was right! Just then my secretary, Rebecca walked in. Rebecca was about 5'11" and wore 2" heels. I distinctly remember being several inches taller than her but now she was looking me in the eye as she stood there talking to me. It was obvious to her I suddenly wasn't feeling well. She asked me if I was going home and I told her maybe I ought to.
As I drove home, this whole situation was weighing heavily on my mind. As I walked through the door I felt a huge feeling of relief. Wendy had dinner ready and it smelled really good! I was relieved that is until my wife walked out to greet me! Even she seemed taller! I don't just mean taller like everyone else, I mean she couldn't have been 5'7" anymore! I just stood there as she embraced me. She looked up into my eyes and said, "What's wrong honey, are you okay?" I told her I must have caught a bug and I just wanted to lie down. She told me to get some Aspirins from her purse. I walked over and opened her purse. Her driver's license fell out and I picked it up. As I was putting it back I couldn't help but notice; it said she was 5'9"! What the hell is going on here! I am 4" shorter and she's 2" taller! I couldn't believe it! I couldn't argue though! I was definitely shorter and she was definitely taller! I tried to contact Dr. Maphesto but couldn't get an answer on his phone. He must have caused this! It just seemed funny that no one else had noticed my change in height, though. I was up all night worrying about my condition. Finally about 2 a.m. Wendy came down to the living room and asked me if I was coming to bed. I said yes and followed her upstairs. I finally fell asleep about an hour later.
