Skills

Chris was trying to do anything he could to get his mind off the fact that he had swapped bodies with his sister. He invited his friend, Todd, over to just chill and play some video games. It seemed like a good distraction, but Chris picked up the controller and tried to play. He couldn’t even seem to get passed the first level.

“Dude, what the hell is wrong with me?” He asked with a dropped jaw.

“I have a theory,” Todd replied, “You’re wearing makeup. How’d you put that on this morning?”

“I dunno. I didn’t even think about it. My sister just told me I have to wear it.”

“Right, it was effortless. I think you got more from your sister than just her body from that swap. You also have some of her learned skills...like putting on makeup. But she probably has your video game playing skills.”

“No way. This can’t be happening. If I can’t play games, what am I? And, if I know how to put on makeup, I’m just a chick! Not just the physical body, but I’m like a legit chick. God, if I start liking sappy romance movies or obsessing about shoes, just shoot me, please!”
