Mom, Please!


“Mom, please,” Mike begged, “I was mad at you and bad when you moved us here, but then I found that weird body swapping device in the barn in our backyard and things at least got interesting. You have no idea how many swaps I made before you caught me in there after I swapped with our neighbor, Lindsey. Then you activated the thing, and I never expected you to end up in her body, and I certainly didn’t want to be in your body. And, yeah, I guess it was fun for a while, but Lindsey wants her body back, Mom! Please!”

“Maybe I should keep this body a little longer to teach you a lesson,” Mike’s mom replied, “And maybe if you spend a few more days as me, you’ll understand exactly how hard it is to be me.”

“But you can’t punish, Lindsey, Mom! It’s not fair.”

“Fine. We’l go back to the barn, and I will swap with Lindsey. She’ll be normal; I’ll be you; and you can stay me for a little longer. Does THAT seem fair to you, young man?”
