‘Each time she sneezed, something in the house changed shape.’
Jeannie had no idea why this was happening or what to do about it. Earlier, she sneezed, and the Genie’s lamp turned into a lantern. Now, he was trapped inside, and things were getting hot.
Major Nelson peeked in, ducking as the couch, now a helicopter, flew by. “Jeannie! Colonel Bowers will be here any minute! I won’t be able to explain any of this.”
She sniffled. “I’m sorry, Master. I must be allergic to something in this house and I — ATCHOO!”
Just then, the refrigerator turned into a medieval suit of armor — milk exploded from its visor.
“Bless you,” muttered Tony, dodging flying ice cubes.
Genie’s muffled voice echoed from inside the lantern: “Tell her to sneeze in reverse!”
