    LOL!! Oh so true!

    ::suddenly grateful my wife chooses not to share EVERYTHING with me::

  3. Stephanie K. says:

    LOL! oh wow…

  4. Phil says:

    I’m starting to wonder what you guys choose *not* to share…

    Nononoscratchthatnevermindnonono… please don’t.

    I’m being jokingly skittish of course. This actually should transform into a common, genderless, saying to pick people up when they’re feeling blue. For instance, “Hey, Fred, you look a little blue. Maybe you need a little tampon change to perk you up?”

  5. Avara says:

    Oh brother. I knew one of these was going to make me squirm in my seat :(

  6. Laurie says:

    I suppose it can change your outlook on life at least for a short time! Avara is brave for putting that one out there, makes me wonder how my husband would react if I said that to him…hmmmmm

    I just vomitted into my mouth…..
    I’m going to be lying in the corner curled up in the foetal position singing “LA LA LA LA LA LALALA LAAAA LALALALA LALALA LALALALA” for the rest of the day, while I try to imagine a world where this comment NEVER took place!

    Do you know how many of us women have had to sit at ball games and watch the players adjust their equipment? Or how many times we’ve seen guys in speedos that leave nothing to the imagination at the beach? (and of course these guys always look like Tony Soprano and never like Taylor Lautner. Or if they do look like Taylor, they’re g-a-y.)
    I think one little tampon comment pales to all the things Avara has probably witnessed.

  9. Changing tampons is a mood shifter up for sure. This can also be a great tactic to end/win a conversation. I’m going to use this often now.

    Yanno… the more quotes I read from Avara the more it becomes obvious how rad she is. She’s my kind chick. :)

  10. the moment when a tampon needs to be changed is a pinnacle moment in every woman’s life.

  11. Alan says:

    That’s being kinda open in my book.
    Being OPEN about it is when she comes into the bathroom while you’re flossing your teeth and proceeds with the process without saying anything…

  12. Gen says:

    So I guess suggesting to your wife that trying a cloth menstrual pad will lead to even better perspectives on life wouldn’t go over well, huh?

  13. cambria says:

    isn’t that the truth!

  14. Christina says:

    I once had a coworker get really angry with our boss and she came downstairs to the kitchen and exclaimed “I want to take out my tampon and shove it down his throat!”

    I guess that would’ve made her feel better in a couple of ways…

  15. Shawn says:

    So, does this mean that if we really want them to feel happy we should give our woman a box of tampons, rather than a bouquet of roses? I’ll have to remember that. Is there a special kind?
