[thunder rumbles]
Ooh, it's really
coming down out there.
Be sure to wear your rain
boots to school, Ami.
Okay.
Where are they?
In the mud room where
your mother put them
after she tripped over them when you
left them in the middle of the floor.
Here we go. Fresh
off the presses.
McKellans in the Kitchen
written by Amelia McKellan.
Ooh, let me see! Let me see!
- Will you sign my book?
- Oh.
Sure.
- After you purchase it.
- What?
Oh my.
A real book by me.
Oh, I can't believe it. [laughs]
That's right, M'Dear. All those recipes
handed down for years now in one place.
And not just for our
family, for the world.
Mm-hmm, you know, I have
to give you credit, Cocoa,
for encouraging me to
self-publish this book.
Aw. No problem.
Moz,
every now and then,
she has a good idea.
[thunder rumbles]
Where's Jade?
Doing what she does
best: sleeping.
Yeah, she was up late writing
that speech for graduation.
Poor thing is having
a writer's block.
I offered to help her with her speech,
but she didn't want to pay me 25 dollars.
What? If you don't want
to look bad, it costs.
I'd better go get her up. She's
going to be late for school.
- [thunder rumbles]
- [M'Dear sighs]
[upbeat music plays]
[M'Dear] Jade, wake up.
You need to get dressed
unless you plan to wear these
silly pajamas to school.
Oh, please, M'Dear, just
give me five more minutes.
It's Senior Week. It
doesn't matter if I'm late.
Now you didn't win the
most improved student award
just to stay in bed.
Now get up and stop being lazy.
I'm not being lazy, M'Dear.
Look, I was up all night
worrying about the speech
I have to give at graduation.
I'm going to try and get out
of it. I'm way too nervous.
Well, you shouldn't be
nervous. You should be proud.
Look, M'Dear, you don't know
what it's like nowadays.
I mean, If I make a mistake, it
is recorded and around forever.
And then, with social
media, it could go viral.
And not in the good way.
Oh.
So you think I had it easy?
[chuckles]
You couldn't walk
a day in my shoes.
[chuckles]
Yeah, that's right. I wouldn't
be caught dead in those shoes.
Oh, child, please! Your
generation ain't got no taste.
Now get yourself together
and go to school!

[thunder rumbles]
Jade! Take this umbrella.
Ooh, the storm's not over yet, and
you're going to be so late for school.
Ugh, would you just please
stop nagging me about that.
Now you watch that
tone of voice.
I prefer using a belt, but I've
been known to use an umbrella.
And you... [screams]
[Jade's voice] Oh. Jade!
Jade! Are you all right?
[M'Dear's voice] Oh. Oh.
Are we in heaven?
[Jade's voice] Well, not unless
it looks like our front porch.
I think we're just dazed.
- [sighs]
- Okay.
[gasps] Jade, why
do you look like me?
What do you mean?
Oh!
I do look like you and you look
like me. How is that possible?
It can't be!
[both] We switched bodies!
[screams]
I need a… I need a mirror!
Oh, I need a Bible!
[both scream]
Oh Lord. Lord Jesus.
Why? Why? Strike me down
for the sins of Jesus!
Oh, this is horrible!
I look so old!
[gasps]
Forty-two is not that old!
Well, M'Dear, what
are we going to do?
Well…
We're going to have to
pretend to be each other
so that nobody gets suspicious,
until we figure out what to do.
Otherwise, they'll…
they'll never believe us.
[thunder rumbles]
Jade, what are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in school.
- Jade, your father's talking to you.
- My f…
Oh.
I'm so sorry… Dad.
All right. Get your tail out of
here and get to school. No excuses.
Just a doggone minute. Who do
you think you are talking to?
- Who do you think you're talking to?
- Moz!
Leave that girl alone.
Uh… It's Senior Week, ain't
nothing going on at that school.
And so, I told
her, I said, "Jade,
- uh, just stay here and relax with me."
- Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry,
M'Dear. I didn't know.
Hey, uh, can you iron my shirt?
- I can't get the creases...
- Sure!
Thanks.
Here you go.
Don't look at me.
- He was talking to M'Dear.
- [gasps]
[upbeat music plays]
Ooh, this TikTok is lit.
[chuckles]
[dance music playing]
When did you start watching
those Ticky Tockity things?
[laughs]
Ticky Tocky? OMG. I
need to tweet that.
Before you start tweeting,
would you make me one of
those sandwiches that I like?
Which is…
You know, the one
with the stuff in it.
What stuff?
You know… You know, the stuff!
How about some pizza rolls,
uh, with Hot Pockets,
and then you just wash it
down with some Mountain Dew.
Ooh, that's some good eating.
You know, you
could've just said no.
[laughs]
I finished cleaning
Jade's room, M'Dear.
Oh, Jade will be so happy.
Did you fold all of her
clothes and organize her shoes?
That's what she wants, you know.
Why am I doing Jade's work?
Ami, how many times
have I told you
"Don't question your elders"?
Now, you have to organize
all of her makeup palettes
and clean all of
her makeup brushes.
Yes, ma'am.
Ooh!
It is so nice to be M'Dear.
I am finally getting
the respect I deserve!
- Melly.
- Ooh.
Are you all right?
I've… I've been feeling
a little weird lately.
Is that why you're working
Ami like a scullery maid?
It's Jade's time.
And it's a way for Ami to thank her
for being such a good big sister.
[laughs]
Guess what your big shot TV
personality son just pulled off.
Moz was able to get the three of us
on a segment of Good Morning Atlanta
to promote your cookbook.
We're gonna be on TV!
- Yeah!
- [laughs]
♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♪
Well, I hope it's not soon
because, um… [gasps]
…my arthritis is acting up.
Melly,
when did you get arthritis?
I caught it last night.
Well, hopefully it
clears up by next week.
Cocoa and I are
making the side dishes
and you're making your famous
jambalaya for the entrée.
Mm-hmm. And this is
the perfect opportunity
to promote my new
jewelry collection.
[door opens]
Ooh!
Look at this. Sixty-nine cents,
ooh, for all of this toilet paper.
Can you believe it?
And now, if I had my coupons,
it would have been free.
Wow. Jade, I've never seen you
this excited over toilet paper.
Well, this is three-ply.
Mm.
[mouthing]
Well, uh, guess what?
Me, your mom, and M'Dear are going to
cook on Good Morning Atlanta next week.
[gasps] Yes, oh, I'll show
my skills to the world!
Slow your roll, Miss Thing.
This is going to be me,
your dad, and M'Dear.
Oh Lord.
Jade, aren't you supposed to be going
to your senior party at Pretty Boy's?
But tonight is the Touched
by an Angel marathon.
Ooh, 18 hours of Della
Reese in all her glory.
Woo!
Um, you're going to miss your
senior party to watch TV?
Jade, that's not like you.
Right!
You are doing what I would do.
You should go to that party.
Fine, I'll go get ready.
[clears throat]
But somebody better record
it for me, all right?
Ooh.
[chuckles]
These knees!

[dance music playing]
Jade?
Why are you dressed like
one of my old maid aunties?
Are you an influencer
for Chico's?
No. My grandmother gave
me this for Christmas.
Isn't it sharp?
Maybe if you're applying
for Social Security…
Oh my God. Let me take your picture. I
have to post this. Hashtag fashion fail!
No, this is a fashion A-plus,
which is another reason why I've
been voted most improved student.
I know. When did you start
caring about school? Yuck.
Well,
education is the foundation
for a great future.
You sound crazy.
Well, at least I don't
look like a hussy.
Thanks, Jade.
She needs to put some clothes on with
her fast behind looking like that.
Huh-uh.
Hey, Jade.
What?
Uh…
You must be hungry?
Oh.
I mean, this is great.
I can eat anything I want.
No indigestion. There's no
heartburn. I don't even have gas.
Wow, uh, that's cool.
Mm. Um…
You seem kind of
different tonight.
[chuckles]
I feel like a whole
new person. [chuckles]
Thank you, Jesus! Woo!
Do you want to dance?
Sure.
But, uh, not to
any of this noise.

Oh, you're so much fun, Jade.
Oh.
You are too… fella.
Hi, Omar.
You got your hair
cut. I like it.
Uh, thanks for noticing,
First Lady McKellan.
It's hard not to
notice you, Omar.
Uh…
If you're looking for Jade,
she's, uh, over there.
Okay. All right.
[both chuckle awkwardly]
M'Dear!
Jade! What are you doing here?
Good Morning Atlanta called.
They're moving the
cooking segment up.
They're gonna be
shooting it tomorrow!
Tomorrow?
Oh. Oh. What are we going to do?
Well,
you could give me a crash
course in cooking jambalaya,
in case our bodies
don't switch back.
Okay. Okay.
- Wait, what are you…
- Let me just…
Huh-uh. What you doing? Ah!
No, that's my favorite bra!
[grunts]
See you at graduation,
handsome. [giggles]
[upbeat music plays]
[indistinct chatter]
Can you hear me, Jade?
I can hear you.
And since you didn't have
time to teach me the recipes,
this is the next best thing.
[chuckles] Okay, now all you
have to do is what I tell you to.
Then again, if you had done that,
your whole life would be different.
Shh! They're giving me a stove.
Who are you talking to?
No one. Pay attention to Jade.
Why would I pay
attention to you?
Shh!
With us today, from Columbus, Georgia,
beautiful town, are Amelia McKellan,
better affectionately
known as M'Dear,
her son Moz, and her
daughter-in-law Cocoa,
who all have recipes
in their new cookbook,
McKellans in the Kitchen.
Woo!
So, what are we
going to cook today?
Uh, I'm making honey
butter corn bread.
Uh-huh. And, as the founder of C by
Cocoa, I will be making a harvest salad.
Just like I harvest affordable
materials to sell to my loyal customers.
And it's the perfect complement to
M'Dear's famous jambalaya supreme,
which we're starting with.
Great.
So what goes into your
jambalaya, M'Dear?
Uh…
What goes into my jambalaya?
Shrimp, crawfish.
Crawfish, pork, chicken.
Uh-huh.
Grandpa, tell Jade to
stop talking on her phone.
I'm trying to watch M'Dear.
- Shh!
- Well, that sounds delicious.
And most important of
all is the seasoning.
Yes, and what is most
important is the seasoning.
I'm sorry, but no mobile
phones while we're taping.
Please turn your phone off.
- But, I...
- What seasons do you use?
What seasoning do I use? Uh…
- [host] M'Dear?
- Huh?
Are you all right?
Oh. Yes. Yes, of course. Uh…
Uh… I use all of these,
some of them. All of…
I use this and then I use that
and I use some…
all of this stuff.
I was thinking you'd be
a little more specific,
but okay! What's next?
Next…
Uh, Moz, what's next?
Huh?
Oh, come on. You've been in the
kitchen all these years. You must know.
After all, the book is called
McKellans in the Kitchen,
not M'Dear in the kitchen.
[laughing]
Um, I… I can help too.
Oh, thanks, Mom. I mean, Cocoa.
So,
Moz will be preparing the
jambalaya from memory,
and Cocoa will be his sous-chef.
And if they get anything wrong,
I will correct them.
[laughing]
Oh, me, okay. Uh, so I, um…
I… First, I would start
with the, uh, shrimp.
- I would peel and devein the shrimp.
- Exactly.
Exactly. Then what?
Uh…
Then I would cut up the sausage?
Yes! Cocoa, would you like
to start that for him?
Uh, yeah, sure.
But first, let me take off my
titanium rings with gold inlays.
[chuckles] All a part
of my C by Cocoa line.
[laughs]
This is so fun! So what is next?
Well, you got the book, why
don't you open it and tell me?
Oh!
All right.
Well, here it is.
We boil the water for the rice.
Yes! That's exactly what we do.
So if you can
read, you can cook.
So, buy our cookbook,
McKellans in the Kitchen,
'cause when you cooking
with us, there is no fuss!
[upbeat music plays]
It's graduation day
and we're still in
the same bodies, so
you're going to have
to give my speech.
I just texted it to you.
You didn't even want
to give your speech.
That was before I was
you and you were me.
M'Dear, yesterday's
show was a huge hit.
We got 60 orders of
our cookbook already.
Ooh.
That's exciting.
I know, right?
And today my once little girl
is graduating from high school.
What a wonderful week.
Yeah, a wonderful week for Jade.
Aw.
That's so sweet.
See how much your grandmother
loves you? She is so proud of you.
So proud.
[upbeat music plays]
And now for our
students speeches.
First up, this year's winner of
the most improved student award,
Jade McKellan.
[Moz] Woo!
- That's my baby!
- [Moz whooping]
[electric crackling]
[microphone feedback screeches]
[chuckles]
No worries, everyone. Just
a slight technical problem.
You know, public school stuff.
All right, Jade,
we're ready for you.
Oops!
I, uh, can't find my
speech. [chuckles]
Oh, maybe it's… Maybe
it's this button.
Oh!
[chuckling]
Let me help this child.
[M'Dear as Jade clears throat]
She knows how to
work a smartphone?
Who knows? She's M'Dear.
Maybe it's this one.
[hip-hop music plays]
Okay. It won't stop.
Right here.
Oh.
Oh. [chuckles]
Thank you.
Who puts music on a phone?
[chuckling]
Hi, I'm Jade's grandmother
and for graduation, I
bought her a new phone,
and she doesn't know
how to use it yet.
But I do.
I do appreciate my
grandmother's help,
- but I have this handled.
- Oh, no, I just...
- I just want to show you one other thing.
- Some people are just so stubborn…
[screams]
Oh.
Jade?
M'Dear?
We switched back.
[screams]
Thank you, Jesus!
I bet they sue us.
Go ahead, do your speech.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
[clears throat]
Hi, look, I wrote a speech,
but instead, I'm going
to speak from the heart.
I wouldn't even be here
accepting this award
if it wasn't for my grandmother.
You know, these past few days,
they've shown me her strength,
her grace, and her confidence.
And I had a hard time
when I first came here,
but my family and my teachers
and, particularly, my grandmother
got me back on track.
I'm still a work in progress,
but I can only
hope that, one day,
I can be the masterpiece
that is M'Dear.
Seniors, I know you will
find your inspiration,
and together,
let's change the
world for the better.
Are you with me?
[cheering]
[chanting] Jade!
Jade! Jade! Jade! Wake up.
You need to get dressed,
unless you plan on wearing
these silly pajamas to school.
Oh my God. I had
the weirdest dream.
I dreamt that I was you.
Oh, a lot of people dream that!
- Oh!
- [laughs]
[Jade] Oh.
M'Dear, people depend on
you for so many things,
and that is much more pressure
than just giving a speech.
I mean, that's only a
few minutes of my life.
This is your everyday.
Well, it's just the
gift of being M'Dear,
but I thank you for
acknowledging it.
I mean, everybody
can't do it, you know.
[chuckles]
And you know, M'Dear, I'm not nervous
about giving my speech anymore.
I know exactly what I'm going to
say and I'm looking forward to it.
Well, great. I'm glad
to hear that. [chuckles]
Now get ready and go to school.
I will. But no
umbrellas, please.

one of my old maid aunties?
Are you an influencer
for Chico's?
No. My grandmother gave
me this for Christmas.
Isn't it sharp?
Maybe if you're applying
for Social Security…
Oh my God. Let me take your picture. I
have to post this. Hashtag fashion fail!
No, this is a fashion A-plus,
which is another reason why I've
been voted most improved student.
I know. When did you start
caring about school? Yuck.
Well,
education is the foundation
for a great future.
You sound crazy.
Well, at least I don't
look like a hussy.
Thanks, Jade.
She needs to put some clothes on with
her fast behind looking like that.
Huh-uh.
Hey, Jade.
What?
Uh…
You must be hungry?
Oh.
I mean, this is great.
I can eat anything I want.
No indigestion. There's no
heartburn. I don't even have gas.
Wow, uh, that's cool.
Mm. Um…
You seem kind of
different tonight.
[chuckles]
I feel like a whole
new person. [chuckles]
Thank you, Jesus! Woo!
Do you want to dance?
Sure.
But, uh, not to
any of this noise.

[upbeat music plays]
Oh, you're so much fun, Jade.
Oh.
You are too… fella.
Hi, Omar.
You got your hair
cut. I like it.
Uh, thanks for noticing,
First Lady McKellan.
It's hard not to
notice you, Omar.
Uh…
If you're looking for Jade,
she's, uh, over there.
Okay. All right.
[both chuckle awkwardly]
M'Dear!
Jade! What are you doing here?
Good Morning Atlanta called.
They're moving the
cooking segment up.
They're gonna be
shooting it tomorrow!
Tomorrow?
Oh. Oh. What are we going to do?
Well,
you could give me a crash
course in cooking jambalaya,
in case our bodies
don't switch back.
Okay. Okay.
- Wait, what are you…
- Let me just…
Huh-uh. What you doing? Ah!
No, that's my favorite bra!
[grunts]
See you at graduation,
handsome. [giggles]
[upbeat music plays]
[indistinct chatter]
Can you hear me, Jade?
I can hear you.
And since you didn't have
time to teach me the recipes,
this is the next best thing.
[chuckles] Okay, now all you
have to do is what I tell you to.
Then again, if you had done that,
your whole life would be different.
Shh! They're giving me a stove.
Who are you talking to?
No one. Pay attention to Jade.
Why would I pay
attention to you?
Shh!
With us today, from Columbus, Georgia,
beautiful town, are Amelia McKellan,
better affectionately
known as M'Dear,
her son Moz, and her
daughter-in-law Cocoa,
who all have recipes
in their new cookbook,
McKellans in the Kitchen.
Woo!
So, what are we
going to cook today?
Uh, I'm making honey
butter corn bread.
Uh-huh. And, as the founder of C by
Cocoa, I will be making a harvest salad.
Just like I harvest affordable
materials to sell to my loyal customers.
And it's the perfect complement to
M'Dear's famous jambalaya supreme,
which we're starting with.
Great.
So what goes into your
jambalaya, M'Dear?
Uh…
What goes into my jambalaya?
Shrimp, crawfish.
Crawfish, pork, chicken.
Uh-huh.
Grandpa, tell Jade to
stop talking on her phone.
I'm trying to watch M'Dear.
- Shh!
- Well, that sounds delicious.
And most important of
all is the seasoning.
Yes, and what is most
important is the seasoning.
I'm sorry, but no mobile
phones while we're taping.
Please turn your phone off.
- But, I...
- What seasons do you use?
What seasoning do I use? Uh…
- [host] M'Dear?
- Huh?
Are you all right?
Oh. Yes. Yes, of course. Uh…
Uh… I use all of these,
some of them. All of…
I use this and then I use that
and I use some…
all of this stuff.
I was thinking you'd be
a little more specific,
but okay! What's next?
Next…
Uh, Moz, what's next?
Huh?
Oh, come on. You've been in the
kitchen all these years. You must know.
After all, the book is called
McKellans in the Kitchen,
not M'Dear in the kitchen.
[laughing]
Um, I… I can help too.
Oh, thanks, Mom. I mean, Cocoa.
So,
Moz will be preparing the
jambalaya from memory,
and Cocoa will be his sous-chef.
And if they get anything wrong,
I will correct them.
[laughing]
Oh, me, okay. Uh, so I, um…
I… First, I would start
with the, uh, shrimp.
- I would peel and devein the shrimp.
- Exactly.
Exactly. Then what?
Uh…
Then I would cut up the sausage?
Yes! Cocoa, would you like
to start that for him?
Uh, yeah, sure.
But first, let me take off my
titanium rings with gold inlays.
[chuckles] All a part
of my C by Cocoa line.
[laughs]
This is so fun! So what is next?
Well, you got the book, why
don't you open it and tell me?
Oh!
All right.
Well, here it is.
We boil the water for the rice.
Yes! That's exactly what we do.
So if you can
read, you can cook.
So, buy our cookbook,
McKellans in the Kitchen,
'cause when you cooking
with us, there is no fuss!
[upbeat music plays]
It's graduation day
and we're still in
the same bodies, so
you're going to have
to give my speech.
I just texted it to you.
You didn't even want
to give your speech.
That was before I was
you and you were me.
M'Dear, yesterday's
show was a huge hit.
We got 60 orders of
our cookbook already.
Ooh.
That's exciting.
I know, right?
And today my once little girl
is graduating from high school.
What a wonderful week.
Yeah, a wonderful week for Jade.
Aw.
That's so sweet.
See how much your grandmother
loves you? She is so proud of you.
So proud.
[upbeat music plays]
And now for our
students speeches.
First up, this year's winner of
the most improved student award,
Jade McKellan.
[Moz] Woo!
- That's my baby!
- [Moz whooping]
[electric crackling]
[microphone feedback screeches]
[chuckles]
No worries, everyone. Just
a slight technical problem.
You know, public school stuff.
All right, Jade,
we're ready for you.
Oops!
I, uh, can't find my
speech. [chuckles]
Oh, maybe it's… Maybe
it's this button.
Oh!
[chuckling]
Let me help this child.
[M'Dear as Jade clears throat]
She knows how to
work a smartphone?
Who knows? She's M'Dear.
Maybe it's this one.
[hip-hop music plays]
Okay. It won't stop.
Right here.
Oh.
Oh. [chuckles]
Thank you.
Who puts music on a phone?
[chuckling]
Hi, I'm Jade's grandmother
and for graduation, I
bought her a new phone,
and she doesn't know
how to use it yet.
But I do.
I do appreciate my
grandmother's help,
- but I have this handled.
- Oh, no, I just...
- I just want to show you one other thing.
- Some people are just so stubborn…
[screams]
Oh.
Jade?
M'Dear?
We switched back.
[screams]
Thank you, Jesus!
I bet they sue us.
Go ahead, do your speech.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
[clears throat]
Hi, look, I wrote a speech,
but instead, I'm going
to speak from the heart.
I wouldn't even be here
accepting this award
if it wasn't for my grandmother.
You know, these past few days,
they've shown me her strength,
her grace, and her confidence.
And I had a hard time
when I first came here,
but my family and my teachers
and, particularly, my grandmother
got me back on track.
I'm still a work in progress,
but I can only
hope that, one day,
I can be the masterpiece
that is M'Dear.
Seniors, I know you will
find your inspiration,
and together,
let's change the
world for the better.
Are you with me?
[cheering]
[chanting] Jade!
Jade! Jade! Jade! Wake up.
You need to get dressed,
unless you plan on wearing
these silly pajamas to school.
Oh my God. I had
the weirdest dream.
I dreamt that I was you.
Oh, a lot of people dream that!
- Oh!
- [laughs]
[Jade] Oh.
M'Dear, people depend on
you for so many things,
and that is much more pressure
than just giving a speech.
I mean, that's only a
few minutes of my life.
This is your everyday.
Well, it's just the
gift of being M'Dear,
but I thank you for
acknowledging it.
I mean, everybody
can't do it, you know.
[chuckles]
And you know, M'Dear, I'm not nervous
about giving my speech anymore.
I know exactly what I'm going to
say and I'm looking forward to it.
Well, great. I'm glad
to hear that. [chuckles]
Now get ready and go to school.
I will. But no
umbrellas, please.
[upbeat music playing]
Diva out.
