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 cheque 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 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. But, You'll just have to wait nine months, though.'
'You got pregnant last night."
