Lisa sent me this yesterday, and I thought I would pass it along:

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 create a trade in our bodies."

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,
pay 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 do his "wifely duties"- 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 have to wait 9 months, though.
You got pregnant last night."
