Today, while taking a shower, I started thinking about the best showers I've ever had. You know how some showers just rate better than others? They feel better, more refreshing. So here is my list of the top 5 showers of all time.
1. The best shower in the world is the one you take after having a baby. Now I realize that all you men out there can't really relate, but after going through that experience, there is nothing, and I mean nothing, that feels better than a long hot shower. Doesn't even matter if it's in the hospital and you still can't see your feet even though there's not a baby in your tummy anymore. It just feels plain fantastic.
2. The second best shower is the one you take after spending several days camping. There's nothing like returning home and washing the "great outdoors" off in an attempt to return to your civilized self.
3. Coming in a close third is the shower you take after surgery. It just starts to help you feel human again after being stuck with needles, poked with surgical knives and forced to wear a dress that opens in the back. Now if you have a baby by c-section, one might try to compare this shower to that, but let me just re-iterate that the shower you take after giving birth has no equal.
4. Number four is the much heralded baby shower. Now I realize it's not the kind of shower I've been speaking of previously, but it absolutely deserves mentioning. People sitting around celebrating you and your big self while giving you presents is a great thing. In fact, my WH and I did so well at our baby showers that we really didn't have to buy OBB any clothes or toys for like the first six months of his life. Now that's what I call a shower!
5. And rounding out the top five would be the wedding shower. People giving you presents because you decided to marry the love of your life? That's a pretty good deal. Even if you get things you already have, there's always the friendly "registry completion" programs at stores that let you trade in the three George Foreman grills you received in order to finish out your china service.

i gotta disagree with your #1 shower. i was horrified by the amount of glop that i saw in the shower and i was so swollen in the bits that i didn't feel like i was showering so much as hosing off.
oh yes, pure heaven! That after gicing birth shower. After 5 now, I know what to expect and how to get the nurses to help. Prop me in a corner, leave me be, and let the hot water pour over you...ahhhh!
if only i had known that george foreman would sit lonely and forgotten after three years... i would have finished out my china service too! you're so smart...
