Body Switch

I was watching the movie Freaky Friday a few days ago, and I was thinking to myself how cool it would be to switch bodies with someone.  The mother and daughter in the movie read a fortune at a Chinese resteraunt and the next day they were in each others bodies.  The whole movie is focused on the two of them living in the other person's life, and finally realizing what it's really like to be the other person.  I would like to switch bodies with one of my friends or family memebers to see life through their eyes.  Knowing that I would be switching bodies would make it less interesting because then I would know what was going on. 

Switching bodies with someone else would be kind of scary at first, not knowing what was going on, but after being in the body for a while it would be an adventure.  I would do things that the other person normally wouldn't do just to confuse people. The movie was obviously stretched out to be funny, and the actual body switching would not be that unrealistic.  I feel like funny things would happen in someone elses body, like making a fool out of the other person or doing something to their actual bodies that they would not enjoy, such as a tattoo or a piercing. 

When I am back in my own body, I will be sure to find a surprise on my body from whoever was in my body before.  Once after switching bodies, depending on my expericence, I will maybe want to go through that process again, but this time actually knowing about it.
