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. 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
check book. 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.. Amen!' 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.'
