A man was tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed, "Lord, everyday I go to work and put in eight long hours while my wife just stays home. So she may know what I have to go through, would you allow us to switch bodies for a day? Amen." God granted the man's wish and the next morning he awoke as a woman. He dressed, woke the kids, laid out their school clothes, helped them dress, fixed breakfast, packed their lunches, kissed his "wife" goodbye, drove the kids to school, then, on the way home, dropped off the dry cleaning, made a deposit at the bank, shopped for groceries, put away the groceries, paid the bills, and balanced the checkbook. Then he cleaned the cat's litter box, bathed the dog, made the beds, did the laundry, vacuumed, dusted, swept and mopped the floors. By then it was time to drive to school, pick up the kids at school, take them to soccer practice, and fill the car with gas. He then picked up the kids, took them home, fixed them milk and cookies, got them started on their homework, then ironed clothes until five o'clock when he peeled potatoes, washed vegetables, breaded pork chops and snapped beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded the laundry, bathed the kids and put them to bed. By the time he finished the ironing, he sat down to watch TV and immediately fell asleep. His "wife" woke him and, even though he was exhausted, took him to bed, where he was expected to make love without complaint. The next morning, he prayed again, "Oh, Lord, what was I thinking? I was wrong to envy my wife staying home all day. Please let us trade back! Amen." The Lord replied, "My son, I'm glad you've learned your lesson. I'll be happy to change things back, but you're going to have to wait nine months. Last night you got pregnant!"
