Jon Gets Older

Jon's pleading didn't stop his mother from uttering her wish. A wish that the now-teenage mom had no belief could happen. "I wish I was your little sister so I could torment you," she said. The wishing stone glowed, granting her wish. But it wasn't granted the way Jon expected. Jon's mother had already wished to be a teenager, so wishing to be Jon's little sister would be a contradiction of that wish. But ... she could still remain the same age as she was now and still be considered Jon's little (or rather *younger*) sister if Jon was *older*. And that's exactly what happened. Within seconds, Jon aged by ten years, becoming 26 years old.
