Freaky Friday?

[Guest]

I just saw the musical "Freaky Friday," in which the main plot is that a teen-aged daughter switches bodies with her middle-aged mother. I don't have a son, but my partner and I are often mistaken for father and son (I'm in my mid 50s, and he in his mid 20s). "You're son's on aisle 23, looking for toothpaste," "I'll need to see you son's ID"... (although I have blue eyes and fair skin, and he has black hair and caramel-colored mestizo skin). In the musical, both the daughter and the mother are horrified by the change, and want to get back into each others' bodies. It really got me thinking. If I could switch with my beau's body, would I? Of course, he has to wait for me for the most part when we're hiking, and I wish I had his youthful body. Part of me longs for that. But on the other hand, I see retirement looming soon, and feel close to being care-free, having led a successful and well-planned life. I feel I don't have to worry too much about the future (at least so far my health is hanging in there). I suspect neither of us would really like to do the exchange, either. What about you? If you're younger, do you wish you were an older man, nearing his years of leisure (one hopes)? If you're older, would you welcome a younger body--but accept having to do everything all over again?
