Look at the pretty balls.
Some people have big ones.
I do not.
Some people do crazy, adventurous, thrilling things in their life.
Not me.
My balls are teeny tiny. Somewhere between gumballs and jawbreakers.
Others are different – they’ve got big ones. Like bowling balls or those gigantic ones that they push during Strong Man competitions.
I’m a wimp, and I’m ok with it.
As such, there are things that I’m 110% sure that I will never do.
Ever.
Rock Climbing.
Never Gonna Happen.
Sky Diving.
No chance in hell.
Bungee Jumping. Cave Jumping. Cliff Diving.
Nope. Nada. Nyet.
Of course, I’m wimpier than your average wimp.
My wimp list is LONG.
Long because it also includes:
- snorkeling
- mountain biking
- anything on skis
- anything where your feet are not firmly planted on the ground
- anything involving animals larger than a horse
- anything involving a horse
- anything in proximity to bees
- anything bug related
- juggling chainsaws
- chasing tornados
- eating anything that Anthony Bourdain would brag about eating, especially things with eyeballs and mommies.
- riding through the streets of Greece with a hunky dude on a motorcycle without a helmet. (Actually this one I may have done in a previous life, but I swore to myself, after living through it, I would NEVER do it again!)
Teeny tiny balls.
It’s what’s for breakfast. And lunch. And dinner, at my house.
Yum.

As long as you are good with your teeny tiny balls it is all good. It is all about being comfortable with who you are!
Me I would do all those things!
Seriously? Ballsy!!
Our balls measure up cause I’m with you. All of those things are just CARAZY! My problem is that I’m married to a man with ginormous ones so I’m terrified all the time & he is exhilarated. Opposite attract I guess.
I have a similar problem because my husband is much more courageous than I will ever be. It’s really annoying.
Glad to see you have snorkeling on the list! I am scared to death of going snorkeling! I do not like having my face covered, at all, and I do not like having to breathe through something. I wouldnt go rock climbing either! My hubs will do some of these things, but not me. I prefer land!

There are some things on your list that my balls measure up to yours…specially the eating eyes one, gross! I can’t eat anything that either looks or tastes slimy and gross!
I would love to go snorkeling and sky diving (though I am afraid of falling!!)
Loved your post, made me smile which I really needed right now!
THANKS!
I thought I was in the same ball-less category but I’ve done some of the things on your list, so now I’m feeling all puffed up and ballsy.
Thanks for that
I have to say snorkeling is NO big deal as far as something to be fearful of. Really. You should do that one if you’re ever in a tropical place. It’s WAY cool!! Trust me on this one.
My balls are a little bigger than yours but not much… he he.

I think I would be more open to snorkeling if I could swim, but then there is still the fear that the sharks would be hungry for Greek that day.
Oh my dear twin, aside from cross-country skiing, I will not do any of those things either!

Ok, now it’s just getting weird.
Hey – I rode through Italy with a dude on a moped without a helmet! Snap. I too have small balls for some things and big balls for others. I bet you have big balls for some things too.

Lady, if you’ve done that motorcycle ride with no helmet in Greece, you can do ANYTHING! Scariest drivers ever are in Greece. Driving on those mountains… I still have nightmares!
Ha. I would not do anything on your short list. I would do a few things on the longer list. I’m pretty wimpy too, overall. I am also absolutely okay with that.
