No offense to our dear men at Mrs. Survival!

 

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 balance 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,

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 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."
