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

...sad thing is, if we traded places, I would lose Mr. K's job in one day and he would love staying home. And then he would really become an A class nagger.Edited

And the funn begins with the pregnancy!
Truly, I wouldn't want to trade places with my hubby! I love him to death, b**** about being at home and my job never ending, but I am so glad to be female & would not switch, even for a day!
He summed it up the other day by saying that I can do what he does (work for a living), but he can't do what I do (be a caregiver) in the same manner (child-bearing and all that goes along with that!). Now, he's the BEST dad and hubby (he is good with the kids AND cleans the house!) He said he had a bit of jealousy because if need be, I could do both as a woman but as a man he can't do that.
Yep, I am lucky to have a man so in touch with REALITY!:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:
