girl-detective asked: I think it should be my goal now to have a holiday party someday with Sylvia and the Hanukkah Hippo.
Some prices are worth paying
When he saw me taking that picture he said if it ended up on the internet I was dead to him.
But I think it was worth it.

The truth about me and breast feeding
I am a prude too.
I had ZERO positive roll models for breast feeding in my family.
But I was lucky enough to have friends who were good at it and did it everywhere with no shame.
At first it was weird to chat on the couch next to a tiny person sucking on your best friend’s boob. And then it wasn’t.
Kinda like the first time someone who has only ever been exposed to...
I'm done being all worked up.
And just so this is totally clear: I love Rachel. I am not angry at her or anyone else who feels the same way, but, just like if someone I loved said something racist or homophobic, this is a topic I feel like I can’t be silent on. Feeding your child in public is a basic human right.

scottfriday replied to your post: I shouldn’t have yelled.
i would like to respectfully dispute that softcore porn at the mall is not a basic (hu)man need.

EVERYONE MADE FUN OF OVER REACTION
To the Janet Jackson nipple slip, but we want to make women feel bad for nipple slipping when feeding THEIR HELPLESS INFANT.

I’m sorry if I burned your retinas with my tits.

Hmmm
I just had to lay down with Sylvia to get her to go to sleep for the first time in forever. She was crying and saying she was afraid she was going to die before Christmas. I told her she wasn’t going to die, and she responded, “That is a lot to promise someone.”
Sigh. Being a parent is hard.
