You take a step back words and the floor creeks, mostlikely from Mike wearing it down with his weight.
You hear something, and look back. Mike is mumbling in his sleep.
"...pizza....eat.....new shorts......too tight....heavier....powder.....more powder....bigger.....buffet...shirt....wish....stronger..."
It's an odd collection of thoughts, repeated slowly, and your first thought is that he's mixed up a buffet, a clothing shop and a weight room. You keep listening, and "...powder...." and "....wish..." keep coming up too. Suddenly, it occurs to you that you might not be the only one who's been to Notz and Yepz.... maybe Mike found it too? Maybe he even bought Wishing Powder? That would explain his fabulous growth - after all, at 6'4", 52 inch jeans would suggest a hell of a lot of growth, surely more than the '30 pounds' Dad thought he might have gained.
And, hey, if Mike used Wishing Powder, you can too!
