Mildly Inappropriate Humor

Dear American Disability Association,

I wanted to bring to your attention a "disability" that you might not be aware of. Just last week I had a total hysterectomy and although I am so happy to have had my diseased womb removed, I am mourning the loss of my cervix. I liked my cervix and even though all the research says I won't miss it, the research is wrong. I now can kinda imagine what someone who looses a limb might feel like. I am writing to you to see if you can help me feel a little less disabled and a little more able.

What I am asking for is that you find a way to make me my very own prosthetic cervix. Now I am a reasonable person, I understand my new cervix will not even be close to the remarkable one I lost. Surly a prosthetic cervix will never dilate. I've grieved that and moved on. But in exchange I was hoping my new prosthetic cervix could, umm . . . I donno . . . how about squeak? You know like a dog toy or a horn on a bicycle. It would certainly give me motivation to do those Kegels every women should do and I could use it to alert others when they are in my way. I can think of lots of useful ideas for my new prosthetic squeaking cervix. Such as, if I ever loose my voice my squeaker could be my signature greeting or goodbye, similar to shalom.

Please help my dream come true so I can enhance my cervixless life.

Sincerely,

Yearning to Squeak

Kim Hosmer said...

So wrong in so many ways... I will never be able to hear the squeak of a dog toy and not laugh now... I love you lady and will see you tomorrow!

You could call it the " i-cervix " it could even have it's own ring tones, remote control apps and when you're in a movie, you could put it on vibrate......

February Jill said...

Oh my. You could revolutionize the world with that one.

And I think the anonymous commenter with the vibrating idea needs to come forward please!

Ummmm, you just earned yourself a table for 1 at Sample family gatherings. I'm afraid the rest of us can't keep up with your specialness. ;-) Love you!

"Similar to shalom." Best laugh of the day right there!

Jilly Jill, "Anonymous" will not come forward, then they wouldn't be anonymous would they?

If laughter really is the best medicine, you'll be healed in no time because there's no way you could have written that w/o laughing all the while. :) Love your sense of humor and pray that your recovery is short so that you can get back to that busy life chasing after your kiddos and snuggling with your hubby.

Oh my gosh, Becca. You are hilarious! I think a whoopie cushion could fill in for your cervix. It does even better than squeek!

Karen said...

I'm so proud of you for blogging on the squeaker toy idea! I have never laughed so hard at a MOPS meeting.

I love you. You know what I'm not gonna do? Act like this was just a joke post. You are in some kinda transition right now, the sort I can't imagine. You know what I *will* do? Invent you a hoo-ha clarinet. This is what I will do. I will march straight to the Clarinet Store, and retrofit one for a hoo-ha. I will call it the Kazoo-Ha, and you will make music with it. Because you are brave and beautiful and funny and dry and courageous and the definition of the word PANACHE (which means you're one of my heroes), and what you deserve more than anything else is a wind instrument for your lady bits. I'm on it, cousin.

this is awesome! :)

OK. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry after reading that...but I must say that as the first male to comment (other than 'anonymous') on this I feel quite priveleged (and defiled).

I'm going to go wash my hands now.
