THE BEST E-MAIL OF THE YEAR



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 lamb 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."
