DO YOU WANT TO TRADE PLACES????

Posted by Unknown On Friday, March 13, 2009 4 comments
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.

Amen!'


God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

He arose and:

* 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,


* t
ook 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 1P.M.

* And he hurried to make the beds,

* Did the laundry, vacuumed the house


* Dusted the furniture

* And swept and mopped 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 in the evening, 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! 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.'

    ocho-onda You know that is only partly true!
    The only reason he was pacing himself to death was because he(she) became a women.
    Men, being better at Time management would have spread the work load out by stages while Women being, supposedly, better multi-task loaders will try to do everything together and then grieve about it later ! :-)

    Doc Hey!,
    this is unfair! Someone should write what the other half went through being in her husband's shoes that day.

    So how do i translate this? hmmm...Feminism or chauvinism? :)

    I agree with onco-onda. But i will have to give due credit to women for no man can match their high treshold for pain and tolerance. That's why they are the wives and mothers, not us guys. Salute!

    cheers
