** As a child, Jordan tries to boss her employees around, but nobody takes her seriously due to her age.
** When April is seen spanking Jordan (as a child), the policeman attempts to page the other police for help. Subverted as the others don't show up.
** Child Protective Services knocks on Jordan's door and tells April that if Jordan isn't enrolled in school, somebody will go to jail.
** When Jordan tries to convince April that she (as a kid) is in fact her, April doesn’t believe her. April even wants to call the police.
** Jordan forgot how it was like to be a child when she was magically aged into a child, so it makes sense that she would still do adult-like behavior in a teenage girl’s body.
** Since Jordan was bullied as a child, she grew up to have serious self-esteem issues, a serious inferiority complex, and constantly thinking that everybody is out to get her. This is sadly TruthInTelevision for many bullying victims.
** It makes sense that Jordan wasn't willing to return to her old middle school when she was transformed into a child...she was traumatized by the bullying she went through!
