Emily is back in time, being the grownup mother she imagined she could be when she was six. If her son Erik enjoys the robe, she is content. But if Erik jumps out of bed and wants to stay in pj's all morning, she will feel sadness, maybe even rage and betrayal. While Erik is in the present, Emily is back in time feeling like a disappointed six year old. If Emily can remember she is time-traveling, she can pull herself back to the present and rejoin her family.
Time travel is tricky.
Uncle Ben gave his nephews Joshua and his brother, David, great Christmas presents every year. When they were teenagers, Uncle Ben took them aside and quietly gave them both a package of condoms. Uncle Ben died. David married and moved to Idaho. Joshua is single in Los Angeles.
