THE COMPLAINING HUSBAND
A
husband complaining and make a wish...
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, goes to the bank to cash a
cheque,
pays
the electricity and phone bills, picks up the husband's clothes
from
the
cleaners, and quickly goes to the market.
It
was 1:00 p.m. already; he made the beds, took the clothes out of
the
washer
and put another load in; he vacuumed the house, made some
rice,
washed
the breakfast dishes, went to pick up the kids from school and had an argument
with the kids on the way home. Dropped one off at ballet, one at soccer
practice, and one at swimming lessons and then went back and picked them all
up again.
As
soon as he got home he fed the kids, washed another load of dirty
dishes;
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, gave the kids a bath and put them to
sleep.
At
9:00 p.m. he was so tired he went to bed. Of course there was some
more
duties
from the husband and somehow he managed them also and finally fell
asleep.
The
next morning 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 hears God's voice speaking to him, saying:
Dear
son, of course I'll switch you back into yourself, but there's one minor
detail,
.......you'll
have to wait 9 months......
.......
last night you got pregnant!
