Yesterday :: 3:30pm EST
I’m driving down “the spur” (for all you locals), sipping my Chick-Fil-A peach milkshake (aka: Heaven With A Straw), while thinking VERY happy thoughts about how amazing the weather is right now (even though I spent a large chunk of my day doing something that I’m not crazy about, but this is a first since I started my job four months ago. More happy thoughts all around.).
Anywho, back to the drive. The radio happens to be on the local Country station, and the DJ is talking faster than I’m driving. And, even though I don’t like a lot of talk-talk-talk on the radio when there should be tune-tune-tune, it doesn’t ruin mood. My beautifully invincible mood.
The DJ prattles through future topics of conversation on their show, including the question: “if you could be the opposite sex for a day, what’s one thing you’d do?”
And that’s when it hit me, surpassing the euphoria of perfect weather and perfect shake:
This’d make one heck of a blog question.
So, I ask you, dear sunshiny readers, if you could be the opposite sex for a day, what would you do?
holypeachshakebatman!
were you wired when you wrote this post? i can totally hear your voice in my head reading this.
and it makes me miss you.
if i were a man for a day i would….
give my woman the “night off”.
hahahaha!! And, yes, I was (substance-free) feeling VERY good about life. Welcome to the new Mandy.
ok, i was about to say you couldn’t pay me enough to be a guy for the day, but then i saw Tam’s post and almost fell off my chair!!! awesome.
so, i change my answer to …
what Tam said.
WAIT a minute… I have another answer too.. i would do this…
“You don’t understand me.”
“What does that mean?! I don’t even know what that means! What’s it mean?!”
OH man. That’s the killer dialog right there.
“but I just wanna see them DIE!”
oh no!

I’d use my girl powers to get free parking…or drinks…or test drive a ferrari.
my wife can work magic where dudes just get shut down…i’m jealous of that girl power
really? your wife rocks.
ive never used my girls powers.
i should tap into them, me thinks.
If you ever realized your girl powers, you’d be a force to be reckoned with…
this makes me long for whatever wednesdays. the nights where all of east coast was fast asleep and us west coasters would take over your blog.
And the Aussies would pick up the scraps…
this is true!
Holy bajoly. I’m much too distracted by all the cream on that drink to think about being a member of the opposite sex.
However, if I was a member of the opposite sex for a day, I think it would be interesting to find out just HOW often men really do think of ‘doing the deed’! Otherwise, the thought of being a man is quite terrifying to me. No thanks!
you said ‘cream’.
sorry mandy.
and, goodnight!
ahahahaha cream …. oh, Diane!
LOL Diane! I wonder….if my HS friends are anything to go by, it’s quite terrifying.
I would most definitely pee standing up. Would make camping sooooooo much easier.
Oh Laura Anne….You haven’t heard have you. YOU TOO can pee standing up. I’ve demonstrated a time or two via video. http://www.whatsthislifefor.org/2009/04/07/our-first-giveaway-enter-now/
WOW. And we’re right back where we started! hahaha
Using a Shewee doesn’t count!
Having grown up with 7 sisters I can honestly say. I have no clue what I would do.
Peace
Oh and if I were a woman for a day I would most definitely sign up to do laundry for a year. Yes, a year!
*snort*
No. But really. This.
That’s a SMART music video. Don’t know who produced it, but that captured the song perfectly.
I chuckle. hahahah
My husband swears I’m a man already – trapped in a woman’s body.
So, if I could really be a man for the day, I’d probably, heck. I don’t think I’d want to be.
But if you ask my husband, he’d want me to be ultra-girly for the day – ick.
Be President!
I would enjoy the bliss of not wearing a bra….or having to nurse…or being pregnant…or other similar thoughts. I would go out for a drink with friends and not shave my legs or pits before heading out the door. Of course, this assumes that I don’t have a family to provide for by working all day and that I don’t have a wife at home with morning sickness that I have to tend to, and oh yeah do all her stuff for her because she couldn’t handle it that day. But if I got to be a single guy with a day off, then maybe I would enjoy it..for a day.
deciding whether or not i should post what i’m really thinking.
i’d definitely try checking into that “nothing” box men so obviously have. it would be nice to just NOT think for a bit.
So the me asking my husband what he’s thinking and his response of, “nothing” isn’t just him??? Wow. Hmm.
yes. isn’t that NUTS? they really truly have a “nothing” area in their head that they escape to. they’re not lying.
i would make it a day of “nothing” as well. i think a single day off for my brain and heart would last me a very long time.
I’d spend the day NOT touching myself – just to prove it can be done!
And get your heads out of the gutter. I just mean that annoying habit men seem to have of, ahem, rearranging. That’s all.
well… i actually told mandy something else privately…
same idea… sorta…
I like this one. Dudes, even if you do it through your pockets….it’s still not very subtle.
A) you look ridiculously adorable in that pic.
B) if i were a man for a day, i would:
• eat bacon,
• enjoy new heights of excitement while watching the game,
• wash my hair just so i can know what it feels like to not have to style it,
• enjoy a day without makeup without wondering if people are staring at the dark circles under my eyes,
• pee standing up (though, this can easily be done using a go-girl…)
I have absolutely no clue what….
wait
yes
I’d like it to be longer than a day though. Like a week. Every month. Yeah. I’d like that.
this one is funny! even funnier that it took me a second to figure it out. haha!
I’d burp out loud without embarrassment.
I would come home, look at all there is to do, then go lay on the couch, have a drink, and watch a movie…. guilt free.
i’d run around yelling “I HAVE A LITTLE PEEWEE!!!”
what? it’s for a day, right?
I think if you were a guy, you’d skip the word ‘little’.
Just when I think I’ve gotten used to your sense of humor. Wow.
Pee standing up. duh.
hahahaha I tried to hold a straight face..didn’t work…lol
Hahahaha Jenni said nuts.
And I like the idea of being braless.
And not having cramps!! Ah they don’t know what they’re missing.
If I was a girl for a day…. I just don’t know…. I’ve really been trying to figure out ….
I’m curious, but I don’t know what I’d do if it really happened!
I would multitask like there was no tomorrow! – Just because I could
oops, wrong address – see, guys can’t multitask
hahaha
I would have a baby…
…But that would take a little loinger than a day.
(At least that’s what I’ve heard.
)
Somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind, I remember something about a man carrying a baby. Maybe it had something to do with a previous sex-change or something, but, well. I don’t know.
Or maybe you just saw the movie Junior with Arnold Schwartzenegger…?
Be terrified of the responsibilities of being the breadwinner of a family. No Way!!! I like having someone I can turn to with the strength that was God given because HE knew that we as women could not hold up under the constant pressure. Yes we are strong, but only in the way God intended us to be. Amen and Amen!
I like how you think, Ma.
I would perform as Elphaba in Wicked so I can fly in her special mechanical contraption and wave that broom around and wail on that infamous high note. (This is assuming I already had theatre training)
…….oh, and assuming I was, say, 20+ years younger haha.
You know what? I gave it some thought… and I think I’d have sex if I was a girl for a day… I was always curious what it felt like lolol (ok – u DID ask, so no blushing!)
HA!
hahaha!
I am sorry I didn’t think about this yesterday…. would’ve like to have seen everbody’s faces lololol
Way to be honest, Bajan!
haha…this is funny! Honestly, I think I would spend the day praying and trying to find a way to be a girl again!
