Never miss a post! 
Last week, I asked my readers to join me in fantasizing about what it would be like to come back in the next life with a Y chromosome instead of an X.
In “When I come back as a guy“, I laid out a few of the things I’d enjoy if I were a man (because when I’m PMSing, pregnant, or walking around the neighborhood pool in a skin-tight bathing suit instead of a pair of shorts, my X chromosome seems very inconvenient), but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t the only one hear your ideas.
And you guys came through. There were some hilarious entries and it was extremely difficult to pick a winner because they were all funny and creative in their own right.
But, I did…so without further adieu, the winning response to “what would YOU do if you were a guy?” is…
“Conveniently become the most sound sleeper in the world when a baby arrives,” by Stacy.
-
This is so completely true and utterly unfair. My husband was even late picking me up from the hospital after our first kid was born because he overslept!
I had him go home after spending the first night in the hospital because we had dogs to tend to and I figured it would probably be a good idea if at least one of us got some sleep before we started life at home with a baby.
“I’m really tired,” he said when he finally showed up after they tossed by barely un-pregnant arse onto the sidewalk in front of the hospital (albeit in a wheelchair). Needless to say, he didn’t leave the hospital the second time around:)
Stacy won a Cool Broad t-shirt (but if any of you are ticked off and want one anyway, you can order them here.)
A few honorable mentions:
“I will nod approvingly at my morning wood.” - it might even be challenging to keep my hands off myself!
“Go home and pretend I’ve been locked in the bathroom all day. Tell wife/girlfriend she went insane and the house is surrounded by police. Then tell her I’m not really her husband/boyfriend, I’m just a menstrual hallucination.” - interesting…hoping this person is just incredibly creative and not inspired by actual events:)
“Be happy in the fact that I only need 4 pairs of shoes - dress shoes, work boots, sneakers, and flip flops!” - so true and also the biggest reason I’m glad I have boys (more $ for shoes for me).
Big thanks to everyone who participated! I love hearing from you guys!

Wait…wait…that wasn’t supposed to happen. I clicked STOP and added the rest.
