“Where have you been?” said Michael sternly as his son, Jesse, walked in the door.
“Dad?” said Jesse, “I was – I had that thing after school today. The fundraiser for band. I thought told you about it.”
“Fundraiser? You never told me anything about no fundraiser! I’ve just been sitting here for the past two hours worried about why you weren’t home from school on time. You’re in deep shit, young man.”
“Dad!” said Jesse, “I swear! I told you about it!”
“Oh yeah?” said Michael, “Then why did I see your little friend Luis Montero getting off the school bus this afternoon. How come he came home on time, huh?”
“Luis was supposed to be there too!” said Jesse, “But he wasn’t! I don’t know why he didn’t come!”
“Well,” said Michael, standing up, “Maybe that’s because he skipped out on the fundraiser, came over here when he knew you would be gone, snuck into your dad’s bedroom as he was taking a nap, and took over his body!”
Jesse stood there in shock for a few moments before Michael – or really Luis in Michael’s body – laughed a big, hearty laugh.
“Gotchya!” he said, “Oh man, you shoulda seen the look on your face!”
“Luis!” said Jesse, “OK, for real, you gotta tell me when you’re gonna do that! I thought you said you weren’t gonna do it any more without telling me!”
“OK, OK,” said Luis, “Sorry, bro. But you gotta admit, I’m gettin’ pretty good at pretending to be your old man! So hey, you wanna go out and get some pizzas and maybe some beer and some pornos and stuff like we did last time!?”
“Oh yeah!” said Jesse, smiling, “And, uh – Oh. Um. Nevermind.”
“What?” said Luis.
“Well…” said Jesse hesitantly, “I was thinkin’ maybe we could do some of that… other stuff we did last time.”
“But I thought you said it was kinda weird,” said Luis.
“Yeah…” said Jesse, “But I kinda liked it, and I gotta say – seeing you in my dad’s body again is really getting’ me, you know, like horny.”
“Well, all right, ‘son,’” said Luis with a wink, “Whatever it takes to make my boy happy!”
“Aw,” said Jesse, giving his friend a big hug, “You’re the best, Dad!”
