Now, you might be thinking, "But wait, wasn't Jamie Lee Curtis older than Lindsay in the movie?" And to that, I say, "You're absolutely right!"

Talk about a generation gap!
It's like when you realize your parents were your age once, and they had to deal with the same stuff you're dealing with now. Except, you know, without the whole body-swapping thing. (Or did they? wink)
