Chapter 10.

“Todd, I would like to ask you something.”

“Yeah, mom.”

“You remember telling me you could swap traits with someone else?”

“Yeah.”

This conversation sounded similar to the other one. Neither remembered the other swap had ever happened.

“Have you tried it out yet?”

“No.”

“Then how do you know it works.”

“I think it does. I just haven't decided what I want to swap yet.”

“I would like to try it out.”

“You would?”

“Yes, you have something I want to borrow.”

“You can't have my boyfriend.”

“I don't want him. I want Piper. I asked her out but she won't go out with me.”

“She probably won't go out with me either. Besides I have a boyfriend.”

“She won't go out with me because she thinks I'm too old.”

“Well, you're her mother's age.”

“That's it.”

“I think I see what you mean, but...”

“I don't want to swap ages; I just want to swap apparent ages.  You know so she'll see me as a teen like her.”

“That might not be a bad idea. If we swapped, then Richard could take me to that nightclub. We can't go now because I'm not old enough to drink.”

“I don't want you drinking.”

“Mom!”

“We will be swapping apparent ages, not the real thing. Promise me if we swap that you won't drink.”

“I don't know. You seem to want the swap more than I do.”

“Just consider it. There are reasons there are laws about underage drinking. Besides you probably couldn't handle it.”

“We could swap tolerance for alcohol?”

“Hmm”

“We both have to agree or it won't work.”

“OK, but I really think you shouldn't drink.”

“I promise I'll be careful.”

“You really promise?”

“Yes.”

“OK. How do we make the swap?”

“I'll say the swap and you agree to it.  I think that is all that is needed.”

“OK, wait, how long will we stay swapped? I don't want to be seen as a child forever?”

“How about three days? You know until Saturday morning.”

“That would be OK. You promise to swap back at that time?”

“I promise.”

“Then let's do it.”

“I agree to swap tolerance for drinking and...what did you say?”

“Apparent ages.”

“...and apparent ages with my mother.”

“I accept.”

“Did it work?”

“I don't know. Do you feel any different?”

“No.”

“How will we know then?”

“Let me see.  My school ID says my age.”

“Are you sure, we said apparent ages.”

“Let's look.”

Sarah retrieved her school ID from her purse. It was a laminated picture. It contained her picture, the name of the school, her name, her class, and her birth date.  Based on the year of Sarah's birth, she would be considered fifteen.

“Look here, it worked!”

“Welcome to the land of teenagers!”

“I'm well acquainted with that land, I'm still a sophomore in high school.  Hey, want to swap that?”

“No way. You couldn't pay me enough to return to high school.”

“Awe, it's not that bad.”

Sarah was kidding anyway. High school is where Piper was. If she didn't attend, she would never see her crush.

“Great, then have fun. Have you finished your homework?”

“Soon.”

Todd couldn't make Sarah do her homework. Even though he was apparently older than she was, somehow, she was still his mother. Although in many ways, that title was in name only now.

Strangely enough, Sarah's access to porn and other adult sites became limited after the swap.  Todd could view those sites if he wanted to. But, Todd hadn't any interest in them. Todd had Richard which was better than any video.
