“I wish I could be the mother and stay home all day!” complained Jenny, as she left for school
one wet, grey morning. “Well,” said Mom, “we’ll do a swap one day in the holidays, if you like.
You can be Mom and I’ll be Jenny.” “Oh, cool!” replied Jenny. “I get to watch TV all day and eat
anything I like.” Mom smiled, but didn’t say anything further.
One day in the long holidays, Jenny’s mother woke her up. “This is our day for swapping,” she
reminded Jenny. “Remember, I’m going to be you, so I think I’ll play with my friends. I’m going to
Amy’s house to swim and have lunch. Dad is here to keep you company. Here’s a list of everything
you have to do. Bye!” With that, Mom hurried out of the door, laughing quietly to herself. Jenny
looked at the list. “Oh dear,” she said to herself. “I don’t think this was such a good idea!”
