3. Gloria stood at 5'4" and weighed 130 pounds.

63. Staring at the purse, he then noticed he was wearing a light blue tank top with white floral patterns and beige capri pants.
64. His feet were now adorned with solid navy blue flip-flops.
65. Panic set in, and he clutched the purse tightly.
66. "Where's the money Mom gave me?" he asked, his voice still in that unfamiliar mature tone.
67. What he meant to say was, "Where's my mom's fifty-dollar bill?"
68. Tears welled up in his eyes as he realized something irreversible had happened.
69. Kyle had permanently swapped places with Lydia.
