A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife
stayed
home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife
merely
stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to
switch
with
mine for a day.
Amen.
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out
their
school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to
school,
came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and
stopped
at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home
to
put
away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the
laundry,
vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with
them on
the
way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do
their
homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the
ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad,
breaded
the
pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded
laundry,
bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't
finished,
he
went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get
through
without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said:
Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my
wife's
being
able to stay home all day.
? Please, oh please, let us trade back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to
change
things back to the way they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last
night."
