A man was complaining: Oh Lord, please have mercy on me, I work so
hard, meantime my wife stays at home.
I would give anything if you would grant me one wish, "switch me into my wife." She's got it easy at home. I
want to teach her a lesson of how tough a man's life is.
As God was listening he felt sorry for this soul and granted his
wish.
Next morning the "new woman" wakes up at dawn, makes
lunch boxes, prepares breakfast, wakes up the kids for school,
puts a load of clothes in the washer, takes the meat out of the
freezer, drives the kids to school, on his way back stops at the gas station, cashes
a check, pays the electricity and phone bills, picks up some clothes from the
cleaners, and then quickly goes to the market.
It was 1:00 o'clock already, he made the
beds, took the clothes out of the washer and put another load in. He vacuumed
the house, made some rice, went to pick up the kids from school, and had an
argument with the kids.
As soon as he got home he fed the kids, washed the dirty dishes, he
hung the damp clothes he had washed on the chairs because it was raining
outside, he helped the kids with their homework, watched some TV while he
ironed some clothes, prepared dinner, he gave the kids a bath and put them to
sleep.
At 9:00 o'clock he was so tired and he went to bed. Of course there
was some more duties, like the mattress mambo, and
somehow he managed to get that done and finally fell a sleep.
The next morning over coffee, he prays to God once again:
"Oh Lord, what was I thinking when I asked you to grant my
wish?" I can't take it anymore. I beg you please switch me back to myself,
please oh please."
Then he heard God's voice speaking to him, saying: "Dear son,
of course I'll switch you back to yourself but
there's one minor detail, You will have to
wait 9 months because last night you got pregnant.
