It's true- men have it easier in so many ways. (& they say boys are easier to raise. That's probably why Grandpa Glenn wanted a boy & called you Jack.)
I'm always perplexed how Johnny never feels embarrassed, stressed, ashamed, remorseful, nervous, or worried. Does that mostly stem from being a man? Anyways, there's nothing that would make me want to change my gender. We love being women, don't we!

Jacki, I also loved your sketch. Such a lovely face!
I couldn't agree more. I also admire kind people. If they happen to be intelligent too, the better.
Happy Sunday!
