http://roushan.rediffiland.com/Diary of roushan mishraen-usA 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 schoolclothes, 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."
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, through. You got pregnant last
night."
