Who Says Being A Woman Is Easy?

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, 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.

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 argumen t 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 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad,
breaded the chops and snapped fresh beans for dinner. After dinner, 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 bac k to the way
they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last
night."
