Trading Places
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 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, 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 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."
