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 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 clothes, fed them breakfast and packed their lunches.
Then he drove them to scool, and picked the dry cleaning on the way home, stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home and 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 already 1 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.
Set out milk and cookies, and got the kids organized to do their homework, then he set up the ironing board and watched some 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 green 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 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 back to the way they were.
You will just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night"
