In horror you find yourself looking at what appears to be a young boy, maybe 9, but he is gigantic. He has sandy blond hair, blue eyes, and a huge smile on his face as he stares at you. You estimate that you are maybe about 12 inches tall. That must be what was meant by a "size 12 containment unit": something he has made to hold a person who has been shrunk to 12 inches tall.
"Well, I actually wanted to see if we could exchange the size 12 unit for another one" you hear the boy's father say. "Austin has decided he wants one the same size as his little three inch GI Joe action figures."
Mr. Franz replies, "The only problem I have with that is that I don't have any in that size right now. You could come back next week and I may have some he could choose from. Or, I could resize one of these to three inches for you, but then I wouldn't be able to give you any money back on the containment unit."
"Could we get a size 3 containment unit?" the dad asks.
"I don't really carry size 3 containment units. At that size I figure you can just go to any pet store and pick up a small cage to hold them in. Or an aquarium or even a jar. They're pretty easy to contain at that size."
The boy's father then asks "Well, what if we decide that three inches is too small? Can we resize back to 12 inches?"
"No" Mr. Franz replies. "Once they are shrunk there is no way to resize up. I might be able to do an exchange for you, but there would be an extra charge for that."
"Well, what do you think, Austin? Do you want one of these shrunk some more for you?"
