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 and so he
prayed:
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 balance 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 cookies and
milk 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 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!
