In touch with my masculine side?

on May 18, 2013

My 3-year-old son told me I sound like a boy.
Possible responses that flooded my head included:

“Yes, I’ve been sleep-deprived since you were born,
first because of your need to eat all night, and
now because of your ability to make me worry about you.”

“Yes, I consume massive quantities of alcohol these days,
which isn’t good for the throat.”

“Yes, I used to be a man, but Shhhhh, Daddy doesn’t know.”

None of these replies seemed appropriate, so I just said,
“Yes, Mommy has a low voice.” Then I took my hair out of
the ponytail and put on a little more makeup.
