A Woman's Place

A few days had passed since Aja swapped bodies with her chauvinistic husband. She still couldn’t figure out how it happened, but he told her they couldn’t afford any more sick days, so she’d have to go to work in his place. It was difficult for her. She didn’t know exactly how to do his job, but with a few calls home, she got through the day.

The odd part was when Aja got home and saw her husband in the kitchen. He was preparing dinner and seemed genuinely happy about it. He beamed when he told her the food would be ready in just a few minutes.

Aja couldn’t shake it. Shortly before the swap he had been telling her about how a woman’s place was in the kitchen, and now that he was the wife, he seemed right at home at the stay-at-home wife. Could he have been behind the swap?
