Title: "The Johnson Family Reveal: From Dave to Mom"
0 Points

It was an ordinary Sunday evening at the Johnson household—a scene you'd find in countless sitcom families across the country. Mom was making her famous lasagna, Dad was trying and failing to fix the toaster, and my brother, Tim, and I were staring at a family photo, one that would soon carry an entirely different meaning.
"Hey, Mom, Dad," I began, trying to keep my voice steady as I glanced at Tim who was on the verge of giggling uncontrollably. "Can we talk about something?"
"Of course, honey," Mom said, her focus still on layering the pasta sheets.
"Yeah, what’s up, sport?" Dad chimed in, holding what looked like the remnants of a toaster in his hands.
"It's about… our family," Tim blurted out, unable to suppress his giggles any longer.
Mom and Dad exchanged a quizzical glance. "Sure," Dad said carefully. "What about our family?"
"Well… we found out about something," I said, nudging Tim to let me handle the talking. "Something, uh, crazy."
"Crazy?" Mom repeated, turning around to face us with a raised eyebrow. "You found Grandma's secret chocolate stash again, didn't you?"
"No, no, it’s not about Grandma," I said, waving my hands. "It’s about you, Mom."
This piqued her interest. "Me? What about me?"
"Uh, you—you used to be a man named Dave?"
There was a moment of absolute silence, the kind that usually precedes either complete disaster or a burst of laughter. The toaster popped but only managed to emit a burnt smell, which was fitting for the tense situation.
"Oh… that," Mom finally said, sighing as if she had just remembered she left the laundry in the washer. "I suppose I should have expected you'd find out eventually. Dad must have left my old lab reports lying around again."
"Sorry, love," Dad said sheepishly. "Filed them next to the cereal boxes. My bad."
"Wait, wait, so it's all true?" Tim asked, finally managing to control his laughter. "You were Dave? The lead scientist at NUGEN labs? The—the one who fell into the vat of chemicals?"
Mom nodded, placing the lasagna tray on the counter. "Yes, it's true. One moment, I was Dave—a fairly average guy, albeit a brilliant scientist if I say so myself—and the next, I was… well, Sharon. Your mom."
"And then you fell in love with Dad?" I prompted, eyes wide.
Mom glanced at Dad, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Yes, I did. Paul here thought I was just being friendly at first… well, at least until I wore that daring low-cut top at the lab party."
Dad chuckled, scratching his head. "Boy, was that some little black dress. Anyways, I’ll admit I was confused at first. Dave had always been straight, you see. But Sharon? Sharon was another story entirely."
"So, Mom," Tim said, "This explains why you drink craft beer and know so much about the Pittsburgh Steelers?"
She laughed, a genuine sound that filled the room. "Well, what can I say? Some things don't change no matter what body you’re in."
We all shared a moment of quiet reflection, punctuated only by the sizzle of the toaster giving up entirely.
"Look, I understand if you guys have a lot of questions," Mom started, "Or if you're surprised. I know it’s a lot to take in."
"No, Mom," I said, stepping forward. "We just wanted you to know that we love you no matter what. Whether you were Dave or Sharon, you're still the best mom we could ever ask for."
Tim nodded in agreement, grinning widely. "Yeah! And your lasagna is awesome. Just wanted to put that out there."
Mom beamed. "Well, then. Who's ready for dinner?"
As we all gathered around the table, I couldn't help but think that our family wasn't just as normal as they came—we were better. We were uniquely, wonderfully, hilariously ourselves. And that was just fine by me.

Prompt: Write a story with dialogue where We thought our family was as normal as they came, A loving mom and tough but kind dad and two sons. Well, me and my brother thought everything was normal until we found out about a crazy family secret. Mom used to be man, and many of you may be thinking oh she got transition surgery what's the big deal. Well, let me tell you it didn't happen like that at all. My mother in all of her beautiful redheaded glory with her well-developed chest and well-defined curves used to be used to be a man named Dave. Dave used to be a scientist at NUGEN labs which was a company working on many different gender changing products. Dave was the lead scientist on the product called Gen spray it was a spray bottle that was supposed to change your gender in minutes. While they were testing it, Dave fell into the vat of chemicals. Dave normally a pretty regular 6'0-foot 200-pound man began to shrink down to 5'4 and 120 pounds and his hips flared out to be wide and curvy and he grew large and busty boobs. After his team found him they ran tests on him. They found that everything was fine he still could move fine and had the same thoughts, however he was now attracted to men, and that's when he fell in love with his friend and fellow scientist Paul who is our dad. The first few days he flirted with him wearing low cut tops and winking at him. After a couple of years, they started a family. I guess we all wondered why mom loved a nice craft beer every once in awhile and how she knew so much about dad rock and Pittsburgh Steelers stats and history. It turns out our beautiful MILF mom used to be a man. When she found out we knew about her past she sighed but felt relieved. Dave has defiantly been the best mom ever.
