CHANGING ROLES

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 8 hours while my wife 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 his 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 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 1 p.m. and he hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry, vacuum, dust and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Drove to school to pick up the kids
And got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out the milk and cookies and got the kids organised 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 the potatoes and washing the vegetables for salad,
Breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded the 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 being able to stay at 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."
