* FreakyFridayFlip: A non-supernatural variation happens in "Switching Lanes". One evening, Cory and Chrissy make a deal with their parents to switch roles for one day: they get to be the grown-ups while their parents get to be the kids. Each side enjoys their new role at first, but they each learn [[BothSidesHaveAPoint both roles have their respective hardships]]. For Cory and Chrissy, having the power to do whatever you want is greatly negated by responsibilities, such as raising kids and maintaining the house. For Mama and Papa, being a kid means following rules, being restricted from doing as you please, and needing the stamina to keep playing with your fellow kids.
