While at the playground with my twin boys, I overheard a woman loudly proclaim, “The last thing I want is to get pregnant with a boy.” Her words were shocking, given the joy boys can bring. I wanted to shout back, “Do you know how fortunate you are to even be able to conceive?”
Many women, myself included, would do anything to have a child, regardless of gender. Sure, some parents may prefer a specific gender, but to dismiss the idea of having a boy entirely? That seems a bit extreme. Boys are incredible, and honestly, there are far worse situations to face than expecting one.
For those who think that having a boy is the absolute worst, here are 15 scenarios I believe most women would prefer to avoid instead:
- Cuddling with a box jellyfish.
- Spending a night in a porta-potty at a taco festival.
- Sharing Eskimo kisses with a star-nosed mole.
- Mistaking a dead fly in cookie dough for a raisin.
- Giving herself a hydrochloric acid enema—oh, the burn!
- Using a leech as a temporary tampon.
- Having a romantic encounter with Beldar Conehead.
- Getting her eyes gouged out by a naked mole rat and watching as they pass through its rear.
- Making out with a coprophagiac (Urban Dictionary defines this as someone who eats feces).
- Getting pregnant with a female sea urchin—good luck with that delivery!
- Kissing a cockroach.
- Eating a cockroach.
- Pooping out a cockroach.
- Being a cockroach and engaging in intimate acts with another cockroach.
- Struggling with infertility issues.
And just for good measure, consider the consequences of upsetting someone facing infertility. You might find yourself dealing with their fierce little boys!
