Thanks "Melissa", whoever and wherever you are, for this wonderful review of Switch-A-Wish:

How many times have you wondered what it would be like if you could trade places with someone, let them see what it's like to walk in your shoes, but you have to remember that you will also get a look at what it's like to take a walk in...
