> body to switch with mine for a day. Amen."
> >God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's

> 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

> >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
