Freaky Friday
Mother-daughter switcheroo film
Freaky Friday refers to a body-swap scenario where two people—typically a parent and child—mysteriously exchange bodies and must live each other's lives.
The phrase comes from the 1972 novel and its film adaptations.
It now describes any situation where people trade places or roles: It was like Freaky Friday—suddenly I was the one giving orders and she was taking notes.
