    A man was sick and tired
    A husband was sick 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.
