Title: "A Mother's Day To Remember"
Jerry had dropped the ball. Well, frankly, "dropped" might be an understatement. He'd properly flung it into another person's lawn. Forgotten Mother's Day—no present, no card, not even a cheesy store-bought bouquet of gerbera daisies. And now he was paying for it.
In a plot twist that would leave M. Night Shyamalan feeling jealous, our mom had found a way to teach Jerry the ultimate lesson. A mystical, ground-breaking, mind-boggling... body swop. Jerry was now in our mother’s body, thrown straight into a maelstrom of gender dysphoria and control-top tights.
I walked in to find a scene that was straight out of a body-swap comedy—my sporty, usually free-spirited brother attempting to wrangle himself into a floral-patterned blouse that was refusing to button over the newfound curvature of his chest.
"Al, help," he gasped as he came to grips with the concept of underwire. Meanwhile, Mom—now in the body of her teenage son—had taken over Jerry’s PlayStation, blasting pixilated bad guys with the glee of a kid in a candy store. Her delight was devilish and infectious.
But that delight was not universal. Jerry faced a crash course in femininity that he was inductively failing. The once-confident star quarterback was drowning in makeup tutorials, work gossip, and the unfairness of high-heeled shoes. As the days went by, Jerry’s incompetence made for some hilarious sitcom-like moments - particularly his repeated kitchen disasters involving blenders and, regrettably, a few burnt attempts at dinner.
Feeling the need to save our kitchen appliances and our burnt-tongues, I found myself plunging into the whirlpool of intrigue and stepping in as Jerry's "femme coach." We navigated through hair-straighteners, coordinating outfits, underwear that sometimes felt more like a punishment, and the ever-mysterious nuance of perfume—enough to leave a trace, not a fumigation.
While Jerry battled the barrage of womanhood, Mom in Jerry's body was having the time of her life. She had found herself entranced by gaming, relishing late night snacks, living it up with locker-room talk with Jerry's buddies. You should have seen them stare when she showed them how to do the perfect push-ups.
Swap-back day couldn’t come soon enough for Jerry, now finally understanding the importance of honoring Mother's Day. He walked into the kitchen, frazzled, sporting a lopsided ponytail, and in a desperate bid for release, he made her coffee and sheepishly begged for mercy.
Interrupting her game of Fortnite, Mom sipped her coffee, winked at him, and announced that she hadn’t received her Mother’s day wishes yet.
Even though it felt like we were living in an ongoing Saturday Night Live sketch, I wouldn’t have traded these chaotic fourteen days for anything. Jerry had learned the hard way, and I had my bets on him never forgetting a Mother’s Day ever again. I realized in our family, in our house, every day was a tribute to Mom. And if you dare forget it, be ready to step into her pantyhose. The result was strange, stupendous, and incredibly hilarious.

Prompt: Write A story where The scene was a catastrophe. Mother’s Day had come and gone, and my brother, Jerry, had committed the unforgivable sin of not buying a gift for our mom. Not even a grocery store bouquet of flowers or a poorly made macaroni necklace, nothing. Mom, usually the understanding and forgiving type, wasn't taking this lightly. In our family, when you upset Mom, you dealt with the consequences. And this time, the consequences were, well, unprecedented. One day, I came home to find quite a weird sight. Jerry, my athletic, usually freewheeling younger brother, was in Mother's body, struggling to button a blouse over her bust. "I can't do this, Al. How does she breathe?!" he huffed, his typically cocky grin now replaced by an expression of sheer frustration. But Mom, in Jerry's body, was quite enjoying this turn of events. She was sprawled on Jerry's beanbag chair, playing his beloved PlayStation, a wicked smile spread over her youthful face. Mom had taken her revenge a notch higher. A body swap. True, it's a bit extreme, but Jerry always had a knack for pushing our gentle mom to her limits. I'd always told him to tread lightly. He didn't listen, and now, well now he was literally in her shoes! Day in, day out, Jerry struggled with adapting to his new life. He couldn't cope with the workplace gossip, the household chores, and especially the heels. And let's not even talk about bras, for him they were pure engineering sorcery. I decide to intervene, really less out of brotherly concern and more to prevent the kitchen from imploding. It's one thing to tolerate Jerry's pork burnt to a crisp. But, it's an entirely different ordeal to clean up the exploded blender after his attempts at making a smoothie. Coaching him through the minefield of being a woman was not something I had ever envisioned myself doing. But here I was, giving him tips about taming curly hair, matching clothes, and applying just the right amount of perfume— you know, so that you don't choke everyone in a five-mile radius. Meanwhile, Mom was living it up. With a new found appreciation for video games, late-night snacks, and the teenage freedom Jerry enjoyed, she was having a ball. Once she even came home past midnight from a rather long 'soccer practice'. Two weeks flew by and the day of the swap-back arrived. I watched with unbridled amusement as Jerry made her coffee, almost pleading in his tone. "Mom, I never want to wear a thong again. I promise I'll never forget Mother's Day." Mom, in the middle of a Fortnite match, laughed and took a sip from her freshly brewed coffee. With a smirk she said, "Well, I didn't hear a Happy Mother's Day..." Before Jerry could reply, she was off, running around, gun blazing, in the virtual battlefield of the game. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Jade had learned his lesson. As for me, I've learned that in this house, every day is Mother's Day whether you like it or not. There’s no messing around here… and it’s hilarious!
