So I was playing with this idea a bit.

A woman in her mid 40's has everything A great husband, a beautifull 18 year old daughter that is set to start college, an ambitious 20 year old son already 2 years into college, both studying locally so they live at home.

However one day her life changes, or well technically it ends.
------------
Now I realize this first part needs to be explained without too much detail because of the sites rules on pain and suffering, so I will probably do this as some flashback of sorts, leaving out any details that are against the rules.

------------
Thus her new life begins as a 18 year old girl starting college, much like her daughter.

But then she meets her own children, who start school late this year because they obviously just lost their mom, as she is assigned to get her own daughter up to speed with what she missed from school, they become best friends quickly.
Other stuff like what if ... [I hate to edit with an axe, but its my job]

I feel like this could make a great story. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Yes, interesting scenario. Afaik pain and suffering is not ruled out as long as it is not sexualized.

The interesting question is, in what way a 40 year old mind in a 18 year old body acts differently?

A nice subplot could be her getting back at her husband, whom she still loves. He mourns, but there is something about this 18yo girl his daughter brings home from college that reminds him of his late wife. So what do the children think as her dad and her friend start to date and get intimate.
 
I like it, but it sounds like almost too much plot for a short story. You could write it as a novel, or a series of chapters where each chapter tells one small part of the overarching story yet still has a bit of a satisfying conclusion.

Her taste in music and movies crystalized in 2003.

She's really good at using a desktop Windows computer but she's bad at phones and social media.

She's an experienced pro at drinking, but is weirdly worried and judgy about marijuana.

She's really skilled at blowjobs and sex, and confidently gives directions in the bedroom.

She's effective at negotiation and conflict resolution, while the "other" 18-year-olds are terrified of talking to older adults.

She can drive a stick shift but can never get Apple carplay to work🤣
 
Penny, thanks for your ideas. I think these could be used very well to show her confusing status.
Apple carplay
BTW. What is apple car play?

Is that how a woman acts "mature" in the bedroom? Let us assume you @PennyThompson , are a bit older than 18, what would you be telling an 18yo girl about what you learned about sex?

Apple car play is a program provided by Apple that comes installed in certain vehicles to facilitate playing music or podcasts from your iphone over the car speakers.

It's the app/car feature you can use to connect your iphone to a newish car's infotainment screen, and use your spotify or maps or whatever. It's super useful, but sometimes finnicky!

I would tell them to learn more about what they enjoy and what feels good, and to tell their partner what they want. When you're younger and not very experienced (not that I would claim to be an expert šŸ˜…) you don't always know what you like, and you don't always feel confident asking for it.
