Wife Swapping

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 eight 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.

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as his woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, roused the children, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, walked them to school, came home and picked up the dry-cleaning, took it to the cleaners, stopped at the bank ATM to withdraw some cash, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the cheque book.

He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then, it was already 1pm and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, 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 fruit, and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set-up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30pm he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork 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 9pm 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 prayed: "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. Amen!"

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 just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."
