I thought going to the hypnosis show would be fun. Little did I know it would turn our household into a comedic loop. I decided to bring my parents along for some laughs, envisioning a night filled with lighthearted entertainment. We arrived at the small theatre, settled into our plush seats, and soaked in the atmosphere, with dim lighting and soft murmurs of excitement echoing around us.
The hypnotist, an enigmatic man with a deep voice and a swinging pocket watch, took the stage. He announced that he needed volunteers, and with a slight push of encouragement from me, my parents reluctantly agreed to go up. The crowd cheered, and I could hardly contain my laughter as I watched them take the stage.
"Alright," the hypnotist said, his voice smoothly commanding the attention of everyone. "When I snap my fingers, you both will act like each other."
He snapped his fingers and the transformation was instantaneous. My mom, normally graceful and soft-spoken, adopted my dad's stern, business-like demeanor, while my dad became animated and chatty, mirroring my mom's usual bubbly demeanor. The audience roared in laughter, myself included.
The show ended, and we went home, still chuckling about the night's events, but something went wrong. The next morning, my mom came down the stairs wearing one of my dad's blazers, her hair hastily tied back, and with an uncharacteristic gruffness to her voice.
"Morning, sport," she said, attempting to button the blazer over her curvy frame, with no success.
Dad wasn’t far behind, entering the kitchen wearing mom's flowing floral dress and a pair of her favorite low-heeled shoes.
"Do you want some tea?" Dad asked, cheerfully, pouring water into the kettle with a flourish.
"What... what is happening?" I asked, staring in bewilderment.
Mom sat at the table, opening the newspaper and frowning at the sports section. "I'm running late for a meeting, you know, the merger's today," she muttered, completely unaware of her wardrobe oddity.
As days went by, the situation became even more bizarre.
"Can't you just... snap out of it?" I asked during breakfast on the third day. Mom was adjusting her tie, while Dad was mixing up a batch of something delightful in the kitchen, humming a tune.
"Hun, stop worrying so much," Dad chirped. "Everything’s wonderful!”
I sighed, running my hand through my hair. It was surreal and shockingly hilarious at first, but it was starting to get nerve-wracking. I had to do something.
"I think we need to call that hypnotist," I said.
After a few frantic searches and phone calls, I finally managed to get in touch with him. He agreed to come over and reverse whatever it was he did to my parents.
The hypnotist sat across from Mom and Dad, both of them still stuck in their new personas. He took out his pocket watch and began to swing it gently.
"When I count to three and snap my fingers, you will revert to your true selves," the hypnotist commanded.
I held my breath. "One, two, three," Snap!
They blinked, looking around as if waking from a long, peculiar dream.
"Why am I wearing your clothes?" Mom asked, staring down at the ill-fitting blazer.
Dad looked at himself, then at Mom. "I was just about to ask you the same question," he said, now visibly confused and back to his usual terse self.
I exhaled deeply in relief. "Welcome back," I muttered, my heart finally calming down.
As they changed back into their rightful attires and resumed their normal behavior, I couldn't help but chuckle at the wild ride the past few days had been.
"I think we've had enough hypnosis shows for a lifetime," Dad grumbled, straightening his tie.
"No complaints here," Mom agreed.
And with that, our lives returned to their normal, non-hypnotic course – though with a fantastic story to tell for many years to come.
