Doh! First rule of multiple choice questions... go with your first answer!

I second-guessed myself and got it wrong, but my first choice was right!

I have to confess, I voted for the wrong choice to throw people off! :p

Hey, I did pretty good. Got at least one wrong vote in each category!

By the way, the answer is: Noisy, agressive defiance

It's only 3 letters off from the bone one though:

Obstreperous, the noisy jerk
Osteoperosis, the bone disease
Obstetrician, the guy who delivers babies

The other two, I just pretty much made up. I voted for "difficult yoga position" just to throw folks off if they looked. /giggle

Baby? It's usually a disease of older folks, especially women.

Osteoporosis was often thought to be a condition that "frail old ladies" develop. In actuality, the damage from osteoporosis begins much earlier in life. Women especially reach peak bone density in their 30s and must take in enough calcium to build bones that will remain strong later in life.
