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." *
*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."
