31. “Why is it special, Mommy?” he asked.
32. Jessica knelt down.
33. “You get your first real haircut at a salon today!” she said.
34. Tommy gasped.
35. He had only had haircuts at home.
36. “Can I go by myself?” Tommy asked.
37. Jessica smiled. “You’ll go in alone this time, but I phoned ahead and talked to the stylist.”
38. “She knows just what you want!”
39. In the car, Grandma Eleanor gave Tommy a red lollipop.
40. Jessica drove them to a small hair salon in the neighorhood.
41. There was only one hairdresser inside.
42. She was a lone Korean woman.
43. Her name was Min-hee Kim.
44. Min-hee was older than Eleanor by 5 years.
45. This made Min-hee 65 years old.

3. A string of pearls around her neck.
4. A thin gold bracelet on her left wrist.
5. A silver bangle with a blue gem on her right wrist.
6. A small gold ring on her right pinkie finger.
63. Tommy entered, looking around at the shiny mirrors and chairs.
64. Min-hee came over and bent down to speak to him.
65. She smiled wide.
66. “Hallo, leetle boy! You come here for hairs cut, yes?” she said, her words jumbled.
67. Tommy nodded and giggled.
68. “Don’t scarry, yes? You’s mama talk to me already,” Min-hee said.
69. She winked and then walked out of the room to prepare.
70. Tommy sat in the big chair, swinging his short legs.
71. He waited, looking all around at the bright salon.
72. After a minute, Min-hee came back.
73. She paused, looking down at herself, seeing her rings and skirt.
74. She gazed at Tommy sitting in the chair.
75. Min-hee bent down again.
76. “You evry want know kaind be gal, yes?” she asked, her words twisted.
77. Tommy just shrugged, unsure.
78. Min-hee asked, “Can I ask yuu favor?” her voice gentle, broken.
79. Tommy nodded, feeling polite and calm.
80. Min-hee smiled wider.
81. She whispered, “Kin we switch bodys plees? I like be yung again. You get stay up past bedtime as me.”
82. Tommy wasn’t sure what she meant.
83. But he nodded anyway, not wanting to be rude.
84. Suddenly, Tommy felt very dizzy.
85. In a blink, everything changed.
86. Suddenly, he was sitting on the floor.
87. He wore a skirt, not his shorts.
88. His small hands were gone, replaced with older hands and sparkling rings.
89. On his feet were shiny platform sandals.
90. Tommy stared at his red-painted nails.
91. He touched his short dark hair.
92. He looked down at the skirt, feeling confused.
93. Tears welled up in his eyes.
94. He did not like this.
95. He began to cry softly, feeling lost and strange in this new body.
96. Across the room, his real body stirred.
97. The old woman, Min-hee, was now inside Tommy’s young body.
98. She grinned, delighted to have fresh, young arms and legs.
99. Tommy, trapped in Min-hee’s body, shivered.
100. Min-hee walked over, hugging herself.
101. Suddenly, Tommy saw Min-hee in his body begin to wave her hands.
102. Magic sparks appeared in the air.
103. Tommy stared in shock.
104. Min-hee smiled in a new way.
105. Then, in perfect English, with no accent, she said:
106. “Now, little Tommy, I am going to make this swap permanent.”
107. Tommy’s mouth dropped open.
108. Min-hee continued, “With my magic, no one will remember you were ever Tommy.”
109. “They will all believe I am the true Tommy—your mother, your grandmother, everyone.”
110. “You will have to be me, forever.”
111. Tommy tried to shout “No!” but his voice was weak and shaky.
112. Min-hee just laughed.
113. “It’s just a simple spell,” she said.
114. “Now step aside, before I finish what I began.”
115. Tommy begged, “Please, I want to go home!”
116. Min-hee just waved her hands again, chanting words Tommy didn’t understand.
117. The light in the salon flickered.
118. Outside, he could see his mother and grandmother in the car.
119. They looked confused for a moment, then smiled and kept waiting.
120. Min-hee in Tommy’s body came close.
121. “Here is what’s going to happen,” she said in a cold, clear voice.
122. “You will never tell anyone what happened.”
123. “If you ever try, you’ll lose your memory.”
124. “You are now Min-hee. You run this salon.”
125. “You have my memories now. You have my job, my clothes, my life. Forever.”
126. Tommy’s new hands shook.
127. He could feel strange, heavy memories rushing into his mind.
128. He began to remember years in Korea.
129. He began to remember learning to cut hair.
130. He saw birthday parties much different from his own.
131. His own name, Tommy, began to feel faint.
132. He felt himself wanting to answer to Min-hee.
133. Meanwhile, Min-hee in Tommy’s body pressed her hands to her cheeks.
134. “So young! So fresh!” she cried, grinning.
135. She looked down at her little hands, his blue shorts, the lollipop in her pocket.
136. She skipped happily to the salon door.
137. Tommy stood up, feeling wobbly in platform sandals.
138. He tried to run, but the shoes were heavy and he stumbled.
139. He heard Min-hee call out, with Tommy’s voice, “Thank you for the haircut, Miss Min-hee! I love my new style!”
140. Jessica and Grandma Eleanor came in to pick up their “son.”
141. Inside, Tommy wanted to scream that was his family.
142. But the spell clogged his throat.
143. All he could say was, “Goodbye, little one.”
144. Jessica smiled at her “son,” waving.
145. “Did you thank Miss Min-hee?” she asked “Tommy.”
146. Min-hee in Tommy’s body smiled big.
147. “Yes, I did, Mommy!”
148. Grandma Eleanor picked the real Tommy up in a big hug.
149. Tommy felt his heart break.
150. His mom and grandma didn’t know him.
151. They took Min-hee-in-Tommy’s-body outside.
152. The door shut.
153. Tommy watched them from the salon window for a long time.
154. The magic inside made his mind foggy.
155. He tried to remember his old life.
156. He tried saying, “I am Tommy” over and over.
157. But the words felt odd.
158. His new hands held the broom, and he found himself sweeping the floor.
159. For days, Tommy was Min-hee.
160. He cut hair, he swept floors, he arranged jewelry on the table.
161. He dressed in the flowered blouse and short pleated skirt.
162. He cleaned his fingernails and did his own red nail polish.
163. Sometimes, he remembered a blue-eyed boy.
164. Sometimes, he cried at night.
165. Several days passed.
166. Jessica and Tommy (really Min-hee) returned for a trim.
167. “Hi, Miss Min-hee!” called “Tommy,” waving.
168. Tommy stared at his old body.
169. He saw how happy and energetic Min-hee seemed as a child.
170. Jessica chatted with “Miss Min-hee” about school and playgrounds.
171. Tommy answered politely while cutting another customer’s hair.
172. The magic made it hard to speak the truth.
173. He wanted to scream “Help!”
174. Instead, he smiled stiffly and offered the child a lollipop.
175. “Thank you!” said Jessica as she left with her “son.”
176. Tommy stared long after the door shut.
177. His mind kept swirling.
178. Who was he now?
179. Why did no one see?
180. Later that week, Tommy found something odd.
181. Hidden in the salon was an old book.
182. The book was full of magic spells.
183. He turned the pages, hoping for a way out.
184. He found a spell for “Remembering Forgotten Things.”
185. Nervous, he tried the spell that night.
186. Nothing happened—at first.
187. The next morning, he woke up with two sets of memories in his mind.
188. He remembered being Min-hee.
189. He also remembered being Tommy.
190. The two lives felt tangled.
191. He cried hard, worried he would never be a little boy again.
192. He practiced the “Thinking Young” spell from the book.
193. He started to change slowly.
194. His hair grew lighter; his hands felt smaller.
195. Each day, he practiced a little more.
196. The memories of Min-hee started to shrink.
197. But so did the magic in the salon.
198. Min-hee in Tommy’s body noticed too.
199. She would visit and ask questions about the salon.
200. “Are you okay, Miss Min-hee?” she would ask, suspicious.
201. Tommy would nod, but inside he felt hope.
202. The next morning, Tommy woke with his own blue eyes back.
203. He rushed to the mirror—the Min-hee face was there, but his eyes had returned!
204. Each day, his face changed more.
205. He was becoming himself.
206. One day, Jessica brought “Tommy” in for another haircut.
207. Tommy as Min-hee could no longer stop himself.
208. The magic was almost broken.
209. In front of his mother and Min-hee-in-Tommy, Tommy shouted:
210. “Mommy! It’s me! I’m your Tommy!”
211. Min-hee in Tommy’s body shrieked.
212. Magic sparks flew.
213. Jessica was very confused. She stared from her son to the hairdresser.
214. “What’s going on?” she asked.
215. Tommy took a deep breath and said a big spell from the book.
216. The whole room filled with bright light.
217. Jessica screamed and hugged her son.
218. Min-hee tried to grab the book, but it turned to dust.
219. Tommy stepped forward.
220. The magic rippled through his body.
221. There was a loud snap, and everyone fell asleep.
222. When they woke up, Tommy was back in his own body.
223. Min-hee was standing nearby, looking sad and old.
224. Jessica remembered everything.
225. So did Grandma Eleanor, who had joined them.
226. Jessica hugged Tommy with tears in her eyes.
227. “I’m so sorry, baby!”
228. Grandma Eleanor scolded Min-hee sharply.
229. “You should be ashamed!” she said.
230. Min-hee lowered her head.
231. “I was lonely and wanted to be young again,” she said softly.
232. Jessica hugged Tommy tighter.
233. Tommy clung to her and sobbed quietly.
234. Grandma Eleanor patted his back.
235. “No one will ever hurt you again,” she promised.
236. Over time, Tommy got better.
237. He stopped crying at night.
238. He liked being a little boy again.
239. He cut his hair at home after that.
240. Mommy made it extra neat with little clippers.
241. Sometimes, Tommy saw Min-hee at the park.
242. She always smiled softly but never tried any magic.
243. Tommy waved, but stayed close to his mom.
244. Jessica always squeezed his hand tightly.
245. They bought ice cream after every haircut.
246. Grandma Eleanor told Tommy stories about her childhood.
247. Tommy loved to listen.
248. He felt safe again.

250. His hair got thicker and shinier.
251. His blue eyes sparkled with happiness.
252. Soon his birthday came again.
253. They had cake and sang together.
254. Tommy blew out the candles and made a wish.
255. He wished to always be himself.
256. Mommy kissed him on the forehead.
257. Grandma Eleanor gave him a big present.
258. Tommy smiled wide.
259. He knew that wishes sometimes do come true.
260. He remembered strange times at the salon, but the memories faded.
261. In time, they became just a dream.
262. Tommy loved his family more than ever.
263. Jessica and Eleanor never left his side.
264. Tommy laughed, played, and grew up safe.
265. He always wore his hair just the way he liked.
266. Sometimes, he peeked at beauty shops and grinned.
267. But he never wanted a salon haircut again.
268. Instead, he played with his toys and friends.
269. He loved running and coloring pictures.
270. Whenever he saw himself in the mirror, he made a happy face.
271. He knew he was exactly who he should be.
272. Tommy loved his life, his mommy, and his grandma.
273. He forgot all about magic and switched bodies.
274. He just became a happy little boy again.
275. The end of this strange story was really just his new beginning.
276. Tommy skipped in the sunshine and laughed loudly.
277. His blue eyes shined with joy.

Sometimes, he cried at night. 165. Several days passed. 166. Jessica and Tommy (really Min-hee) returned for a trim. 167. “Hi, Miss Min-hee!” called “Tommy,” waving. 168. Tommy stared at his old body. 169. He saw how happy and energetic Min-hee seemed as a child. 170. Jessica chatted with “Miss Min-hee” about school and playgrounds. 171. Tommy answered politely while cutting another customer’s hair. 172. The magic made it hard to speak the truth. 173. He wanted to scream “Help!” 174. Instead, he smiled stiffly and offered the child a lollipop. 175. “Thank you!” said Jessica as she left with her “son.” 176. Tommy stared long after the door shut. 177. His mind kept swirling. 178. Who was he now? 179. Why did no one see? 180. Later that week, Tommy found something odd. 181. Hidden in the salon was an old book. 182. The book was full of magic spells. 183. He turned the pages, hoping for a way out. 184. He found a spell for “Remembering Forgotten Things.” 185. Nervous, he tried the spell that night. 186. Nothing happened—at first. 187. The next morning, he woke up with two sets of memories in his mind. 188. He remembered being Min-hee. 189. He also remembered being Tommy. 190. The two lives felt tangled. 191. He cried hard, worried he would never be a little boy again. 192. He practiced the “Thinking Young” spell from the book. 193. He started to change slowly. 194. His hair grew lighter; his hands felt smaller. 195. Each day, he practiced a little more. 196. The memories of Min-hee started to shrink. 197. But so did the magic in the salon. 198. Min-hee in Tommy’s body noticed too. 199. She would visit and ask questions about the salon. 200. “Are you okay, Miss Min-hee?” she would ask, suspicious. 201. Tommy would nod, but inside he felt hope. 202. The next morning, Tommy woke with his own blue eyes back. 203. He rushed to the mirror—the Min-hee face was there, but his eyes had returned! 204. Each day, his face changed more. 205. He was becoming himself. 206. One day, Jessica brought “Tommy” in for another haircut. 207. Tommy as Min-hee could no longer stop himself. 208. The magic was almost broken. 209. In front of his mother and Min-hee-in-Tommy, Tommy shouted: 210. “Mommy! It’s me! I’m your Tommy!” 211. Min-hee in Tommy’s body shrieked. 212. Magic sparks flew. 213. Jessica was very confused. She stared from her son to the hairdresser. 214. “What’s going on?” she asked. 215. Tommy took a deep breath and said a big spell from the book. 216. The whole room filled with bright light. 217. Jessica screamed and hugged her son. 218. Min-hee tried to grab the book, but it turned to dust. 219. Tommy stepped forward. 220. The magic rippled through his body. 221. There was a loud snap, and everyone fell asleep. 222. When they woke up, Tommy was back in his own body. 223. Min-hee was standing nearby, looking sad and old. 224. Jessica remembered everything. 225. So did Grandma Eleanor, who had joined them. 226. Jessica hugged Tommy with tears in her eyes. 227. “I’m so sorry, baby!” 228. Grandma Eleanor scolded Min-hee sharply. 229. “You should be ashamed!” she said. 230. Min-hee lowered her head. 231. “I was lonely and wanted to be young again,” she said softly. 232. Jessica hugged Tommy tighter. 233. Tommy clung to her and sobbed quietly. 234. Grandma Eleanor patted his back. 235. “No one will ever hurt you again,” she promised. 236. Over time, Tommy got better. 237. He stopped crying at night. 238. He liked being a little boy again. 239. He cut his hair at home after that. 240. Mommy made it extra neat with little clippers. 241. Sometimes, Tommy saw Min-hee at the park. 242. She always smiled softly but never tried any magic. 243. Tommy waved, but stayed close to his mom. 244. Jessica always squeezed his hand tightly. 245. They bought ice cream after every haircut. 246. Grandma Eleanor told Tommy stories about her childhood. 247. Tommy loved to listen. 248. He felt safe again. 249. He grew taller every year. 250. His hair got thicker and shinier. 251. His blue eyes sparkled with happiness. 252. Soon his birthday came again. 253. They had cake and sang together. 254. Tommy blew out the candles and made a wish. 255. He wished to always be himself. 256. Mommy kissed him on the forehead. 257. Grandma Eleanor gave him a big present. 258. Tommy smiled wide. 259. He knew that wishes sometimes do come true. 260. He remembered strange times at the salon, but the memories faded. 261. In time, they became just a dream. 262. Tommy loved his family more than ever. 263. Jessica and Eleanor never left his side. 264. Tommy laughed, played, and grew up safe. 265. He always wore his hair just the way he liked. 266. Sometimes, he peeked at beauty shops and grinned. 267. But he never wanted a salon haircut again. 268. Instead, he played with his toys and friends. 269. He loved running and coloring pictures. 270. Whenever he saw himself in the mirror, he made a happy face. 271. He knew he was exactly who he should be. 272. Tommy loved his life, his mommy, and his grandma. 273. He forgot all about magic and switched bodies. 274. He just became a happy little boy again. 275. The end of this strange story was really just his new beginning. 276. Tommy skipped in the sunshine and laughed loudly. 277. His blue eyes shined with joy. 278. Jessica and Eleanor watched him with smiles. 279. Tommy was home—forever, just as himself. 280. And he was happy at last.
