70. At the top of the list was an elusive cheese.
71. "Gruyère, aged 18 months."

73. Samuel looked confused and replied, "Um, miss, I don't work here. I just came for some candy. I don’t like cheese."

75. She grabbed Samuel's shoulder.
76. Samuel was suddenly unable to move, feeling a strange sensation.
77. He looked down as his shoes morphed into a pair of old lady sandals like Beatrice's.

96. With a firm grip, Beatrice altered Samuel's memories.
97. Feminine thoughts replaced his old identity.
98. Samuel dropped the money, pleading, "Please, miss, no, I wanna get candy. I don't know--"
99. Then he fully became Beatrice, "Oh honey, I actually don't know where the Gruyère is either. My husband and I love it. You'd think they'd make it easy to find. Sorry, hon. If I find it, I'll get you some too."
100. New Beatrice commented, "Are we related? We look alike."
101. Real Beatrice feigned confusion, "No, we're not related."
102. New Beatrice was amazed, "Oh wow, you must be one of those doppelgängers everyone supposedly has. You're even wearing the same sandals as me. I love these sandals because they're so comfortable."
103. She then asked, "What's your name, hon?"
104. Real Beatrice smiled evilly, "Beatrice."
105. New Beatrice exclaimed, "What your name is Beatrice, my name is Beatrice! We have the same name! How old are you?"
106. Smiling evilly, she replied, "I’m 60 years old. I was born on May 30th, 1963."
107. New Beatrice replied, "Oh my, I'm 60 years old too, and my birthday is also May 30th! My birth year is also 1963! Oh sweet Jesus, this is overwhelming. I feel like something ain't right. I should go. Sorry, sweetie. It's like looking into a mirror."
108. New Beatrice didn’t remember her old life.
109. She grabbed her cart, adjusted her t-shirt and shorts, and said:
110. "1. Groceries, check. 2. Cheese for my husband. 3. I'm so forgetful. 4. I love comfortable sandals. 5. What a day! 6. This t-shirt fits well. 7. Need to hurry up. 8. Gruyère, where are you?"
111. Continuing her search for the cheese, she saw her freshly dropped money.
112. "Oh, what's this?" she calmly said, picking it up.
113. She chuckled, "Somebody seems to have dropped some money on the ground."
114. Tucking it in her purse, she remarked, "No matter. It’s not yours, Beatrice. The honest thing to do is turn it in at the front. You're 60 years old, and your mother taught you very well to be honest."
115. She no longer liked candy or chips or soda.
116. She turned in the money at customer service.
117. The female employee smiled and asked her name.

121. Feeling disdain for their attire, she projected her voice, "Excuse me, ladies."
122. The two women looked over, “Yes, can we help you?”
123. "Yes, you can. What are your names, and how old are you two?"

128. Tiffany had jet black hair.
129. Her eyes were green.
130. Beatrice gently lectured, "You know, wearing crop tops and short shorts is inappropriate."
131. "It exposes too much skin."
132. "You look unprofessional."
133. "You don't give a good impression."
134. "Think about your dignity."
135. "You should aim for modesty."
136. "You look like you might work as... well, in unpleasant occupations."
137. "People might misjudge you."
138. "Respect yourselves."
139. "Consider how you present yourselves."
140. The two women reacted negatively, "Hypocrite! Look at your old legs. Cover them up!"
141. Frowning, Beatrice thought of generational differences.
142. She was disappointed in the younger generation.
143. She continued looking for the cheese, tripping over her sandals.
144. Chastising herself, she muttered, "Clumsy old Beatrice. Remember your age."
145. Seeing younger moms with their kids, she admired their youth.
146. "Oh, those kids are so full of life. The moms look so young and vibrant."
147. Continuing her search, she knocked something over.
148. "Watch where you’re going, Beatrice," she mumbled.
149. "1. Be careful. 2. What a mess. 3. Notify the front end. 4. Always honest. 5. Remember your mother’s teachings. 6. Must get cheese. 7. My dear husband. 8. Keep it together, Beatrice."
