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 create a trade in our
bodies.

" 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 draw out money to pay the power bill and telephone bill, drove to the
power company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery
shopping, came home and put away the groceries. 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 greens 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 have to wait 9 months, though.

You got pregnant last night.
