Role reversals

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 chequebook. 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."
