Family Therapy


“This is the dumbest family therapy session Mom has ever signed us up for.” Kevin whined to his sister, “Swapping bodies with each other for an entire week? Who came up that? I can’t believe I’m stuck as you, Crystal. Do you even know what I just had to go through?”

“Yeah, Kevin,” Crystal retorted calmly, “I’m fully aware of my cycles, and you know I have to go through that every month, right?”

“Ugh, it’s gross.”

“Well, I’m not exactly happy being in Mom’s older body either, but I think I’m also picking up parts of her personality. I feel calmer, wiser, more patient -- and I think you might be picking up some of my bitchiness. God, I can’t believe I’m admitting that about myself.”

“I’m bitchy because I’m experiencing PMS for the first time, Crystal. It sucks.”
