[ WP ] A husband and wife both want to transition their genders but are afraid to tell each other .

We lay together on our bed, staring at the ceiling. My eyebrows furrowed, reflecting my deep thought. 
 `` So what's your favorite... grey mammal?'' I finally ask. My wife replies without a moments hesitation. 
 `` Easy, Elephants are awesome.'' 
 `` Me too!'' 
 `` Ok, your turn'' 
 This time she spends a few minutes staring at the ceiling, thinking hard. 
 `` Hmmm.... thinking of new questions is hard.'' 
 `` Yeah but that's how it works, come on, we always do it like this.'' 
 `` Ok. What company would be best suited to rule the world?'' 
 `` Alphabet'' 
 `` Alphabet?'' 
 `` It's the holding company that now owns Google. Basically it was google to begin with, and they just created their own owners.'' 
 `` Oh, that makes sense. My answer was Google, but I guess it's Alphabet now. Your turn.'' 
 I sit for a few minutes, weighing my option. Over the last couple years, we'd asked each other almost every question imaginable. Coming up with new ones is very difficult, and some questions are difficult to ask. 
 `` Would you rather have been born a boy or a girl?'' 
 `` Um, actually, boy.'' 
 `` hmm.'' 
 `` Does that bother you?'' 
 `` No, no. I only asked because you and I are so similar... I assumed that if the opposite is true for me then maybe you might have some of the same kind of feelings.'' 
 `` So you'd rather have been born a girl?'' 
 `` Yeah. Your turn.'' 
 `` But it's so hard to think of questions!'' 
 `` No choice, that's the rules.''

 One month passes, during that time I ca n't get that question out of my head, or the answer. Sitting at home, I receive a message from my wife on my phone. 
 *I have something I want to tell you, but you're not going to like it. Please do n't get upset. * 
 I respond quickly as a thousand possibilities run through my mind. Is my marriage about to end? Have I been cheated on? 
 *Try me, I promise I wo n't freak out. * 
 
 As it turns out, my marriage was just about to begin.
