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.'
