Than along comes the wonderful time in life we get to experience the miracle of pregnancy and birth. I just know a man came up with that sentiment. Yes, we get to be pregnant, while throwing our guts up the first three months, waddle around like a duck, with a severe backache, all for the reward of going into a nice, long labor of gut wrenching pain, all to deliver a being the size of a large watermelon through an opening the size of a silver dollar. Sounds promising doesn't it? I consider myself smart as well as fortunate, I only did it once!
So, after the "Weaker Sex" as we are known go through all that during the best years of our lives, our truly big reward comes along, They call it menopause. Once you are fully into menopause, you start to realize "The Curse" and "Pregnancy" wasn't all that bad. With menopause you lose your mind, your memory, your keys, of which you can never find, bladder control, your shape, your ability to sleep at night, your once soft and supple skin, and countless number of other things I can't remember, because I lost my memory.
But wait, there's more! There are some things you do gain, such as weight, dry, itchy skin, a new wardrobe because of all that weight you put on, underwear that looks like diapers, several naps during the day due to total exhaustion, severe mood swings, a nasty attitude, and the best of all, peace and quiet because NO one wants to be around you!
Oops, almost forgot the most important thing, you sometimes lose your man. Why you ask? Because while you are experiencing the joys of menopause, and getting over a lifetime of "The Curse" and "Pregnancy", HE is also going through midlife crisis too. So what is his reward in life for all he has been through (yeah right)? He gets the cute little red sports car with the HOT babe. That seems fair?
Okay, the only thing I have to say is, I better come back in my next life as a man. I mean really, I'm not going through this again. Well, since I'm a Christian I can not pray for anything that will cause harm to anyone, I guess I will pray that every man I know, gets to come back as a woman and experience all the joys of womanhood. Thank God there's a back door to everything!

Post a CommentThat red sports car reminds me of the lawyer who was having an affair w/ a neighbor when I was in high school....she was much younger he was of the mid life crisis age and at lunch the red car was in her driveway
Yeah - it just doesn't seem fair, does it?? But, chin up - there's a lot more doctor talk about the existence of a physical male menopause these days!
