Do you think there is such a thing as a ‘gendered’ brain? [My interpretation of that term “gendered brain” is that some brains (regardless of the body they may occupy) are inherently “female” and others inherently “male”.]
Yes, I do. I don’t have any scientific data to back this up, only the anecdotal comment that I’ve always felt female. It isn’t something I was taught. Even more convincing is how foreign the idea of being a man is to me. Between those two things I’m feeling pretty confident I have a female brain.
What is the silliest fear you have?
I live in constant fear of having stuff stuck in my teeth. Maybe it’s a result of having braces in my thirties, maybe it’s from a bad broccoli experience. Either way it leads to floss stashes in my car, BrightSide’s car, the front entry table, the kitchen junk drawer, my purse, and my bathroom. I’m not above stealing floss from a kid’s bathroom either. In a rather ironic twist this fear leads to a ridiculous amount of flossing, a habit that’s surely not reflected in the fact that I easily have the highest dental bills in this house. Sheesh.
Out of your family members, who are you closest to?
Seriously? Do you want me to pick a favorite kid, too? Bwahahahaha!!
What is something you’ll NEVER do again?
Go for a helicopter ride. The only way you’ll find me in a helicopter is if I’m getting airlifted to a hospital.
If you’d like, please share a photo or a comment about something good that’s happened recently! Thanks!
We had my family over for dinner and a late birthday celebration for Bear on Sunday and it was wonderful.

Now I have that fear. I’m seeing spaghetti.

Spaghetti adds a whole nother level of “is there a fleck of red sauce on my cheek that I can’t feel but everyone is staring at??” 😆

Thanks Laura for Sharing Your World! Yours is the most imaginative ‘fear’ that I’ve read yet! Good for you and I’ll remember that the next time I’m being chastised for not flossing ENOUGH!! Heh.

It was the only one I could go with. Mostly because I couldn’t find a way to make “terrified of small, dark spaces” funny. Bwahahaha!

Hmm… too much flossing cannot be good for the teeth. Loved reading your answers.

Irony, right? No flossing, bad. Too much flossing, bad. The chances that I’d hit the right level are slim to none. 😆

There is always a possibility. But better than not flossing at all. 😍

As far as silly fears go, that’s not too bad, unless you really like green veggies.

Sadly, I’ve developed quite a fondness for steamed broccoli & salads. Plus KIND bars are a staple & they have all these weird grains in them that lodge in my teeth. The struggle is real. 😆
