Diane, dunno about your son's intentions, but take the verb itself as a
compliment.  And for anyone wondering what we are talking about, it is the
concepts in Diane's great article 'Watch Your Language' which appeared in
the JHL and is available at:

"The truth is, breastfeeding is nothing more than normal" -- and we should
be using breastfeeding outcomes as the yardstick to measure other outcomes
against.  So, for example, 'breastfed babies are healthier'.  Well, no.
Babies who are not breastfed are not as healthy.
