It's Hump Day, let's have some fun! Anyone up for a game of would you rather?! I'll start off with a question, the next person will answer the question and then pose your own!!
Would you rather lose a front tooth or an eyebrow?!
Deaf. I can't imagine not knowing what my future kids or grandkids look like. Also I am pretty sure deaf people can still drive. Losing the ability to drive...you lose a lot of independence.
Would you rather lose an arm or a leg?

That's tough! I love my job but it's difficult to say whether I'd want to do it forever. I'll say go back to school and start a new career but ONLY if I don't have to take out additional loans!
Would you rather be a genius in a world of morons, or a moron in a world of geniuses?
Me: 31 DH: 32 Dating since: 11/17/2001 Married: 9/26/2009 TTC: June 2016
I'll do both of yours I guess! A genius in a world of morons. Frustrating, but at least I could still make good decisions. On an island alone. I do pretty well by myself and I would probably eventually end up alone when I killed the person who talked incessantly anyway.
Would you rather always have to say everything on your mind or never be able to speak again?

I'll choose never be able to speak. If I always spoke what was on my mind I would lose my job and probably some friends.
Would you rather have a beautiful singing voice or be a super talented painter?

beautiful singing voice. My husband is a fairly talented singer and was the lead singer of a band that was apparently somewhat popular in the NE for a couple of years. He keeps wanting to get some recording equipment and take up writing/recording music just as a hobby. I'd love to be able to do something like with him. I think it would be a pretty cool/fun hobby. But no one in my family is even the tiniest bit talented with singing. I can play the piano but otherwise I have no musical ability what-so-ever. And, because my singing ability is so pathetically bad, my husband has literally ever heard me sing. Something about that is a tiny bit sad to me.... just not as sad as him having heard me sing.
ETA: Fail! I totally forgot to add my own question. I haven't had my coffee yet to wake my brain up
Would you rather be incredibly physically attractive and have a personality nearly everyone dislikes or be ugly and have a personality where nearly everyone loves you?

That's such a hard one. I'll go with the being on the verge of sneezing but not actually sneezing only because I think it would be difficult to have any type of conversation with constant hiccups.
Would you rather know when you are going to die or how you were going to die?
I'm going to go with when I'm going to die. Pretty much my whole life I've had this irrational belief that I'll die young (or, ya know, "young" in the sense that I didn't live a full life and get to 70-80 or whatever). My counselor in college told me it was because I was depressed and had "a sense of foreshortened future." But I know that if I knew when I'd die it would make life planning a lot easier. Like if I'm really going to die in my 30s or something I probably would stop TTC since I wouldn't want a child to grow up without a mother. But if I knew I was going to live to 80 I could finally let go of that irrational belief.

Oh man, that's a tough one! I guess sandpaper as toilet paper because I could probably avoid rubbing if I drip-dried?! Eww...
Would you rather be nauseous or dizzy every day?
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
