Hi echurch family,
Someone sent this one to me and I though you all would get a bit of chuckle
out of it.  I do hope that it is not offensive to anyone on list.  I don't
think it will be.

Last Night
===========
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed at
home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed, "Dear Lord, I go to
work
every day and put in eight 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 1:00 p.m. and he hurried to make the beds, do the
laundry, vacuum,
dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.  He ran to the school to pick up
the kids
and got into an argument with them on the way home.  He 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 PM he began peeling potatoes and washed greens for salads, 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 9:00 PM he was exhausted and though his
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, O Lord 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!!!"
