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.

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,

Paid the bills and balanced
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 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 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
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.. 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.
But you'll have to wait
nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night"

slk350 06-30-2011 09:43 PM

That was hilarious !! So true, I was a stay at home mom of 3 kids. Had the 3rd at 40. He's alomost 19, but never got much of a break because I have a 4 year old grandson. I've always had children in our house. Love it though. It reminds me of a poem in the Dear Abby column many years ago...called. You don't work, you're just a housewife (something like that). If I can ever find it I will print it here

quilting cat 06-30-2011 10:18 PM

Do you suppose he'll make it through labor?

fishnlady 06-30-2011 11:17 PM

DonnaB 07-13-2011 05:26 PM

This says it all, love it.

I've always thought that if a man had to have the second baby and alternate child in each family, no family would EVER have more than THREE kids.

As a 28 year plus hospital volunteer, I noticed that when the husband was present at the birth and in the same room, that family had very few kids. The man who sat in the waiting room, watching TV or making visits to the cafeteria, had a LOT of kids.
Just my observations.
