Last Night
===========
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 eight 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
draw out money to pay the power bill
and telephone bill, drove
to the power company and the phone
company and paid the bills,
went grocery shopping, came home and
put away the groceries. He
cleaned the cat's litter box and
bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1:00 p.m. and he
hurried to make the beds,
do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and
sweep and mop the kitchen
floor. He ran to the school to
pick up the kids and got into an
argument with them on the way
home. He 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 PM he began peeling potatoes
and washed greens for
salads, breaded the 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 9:00 PM he
was exhausted and though his 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, O Lord 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!!!"
