>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

>checkbook. 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 P.M. 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."
