I'd Like To See...

... a video game called "Pregnancy", wherein the player is a pregnant woman trying to navigate through life. Level 1 will have you darting from wastebasket to toilet throwing up at every opportunity. In Level 4 you have to go shopping for maternity clothes. And on Level 9 you have to dress yourself, get to the kitchen to make lunch, and tend to the needs of two small children and a husband. Every time you get up you lose health points; if you lose enough of them you fall over and break something. Sitting in hard chairs will give you back a couple of health points, maybe just enough to make it to the soft chair or the bed. If you sit in a hard chair long enough, you begin to lose health points as your pain factor increases.
