This one made me laugh.  Last week at a homeschool park day, Janene wanted to nurse.  When she
went to latch on she had this little puckered mouth and I giggled and said "Open wide, Janene,
you can't latch like that!"  (she's 4 and knows how to latch).  So she opens wide and I see
something green in her mouth. What is in your mouth, child?  It's candy.  Hard sour candy, her
favorite.  You can't cuzzle (our code word) with candy in your mouth.  She giggles and I ask if
she wants to take it out or finish it so she starts crunching.  I'm cracking up.  Finally she
finishes and performs a perfect latch on and I look up to see half a dozen women (most of whom
nursed for a long time) and one man laughing.  It was very cute.  The things you never thought
you'd say!

Well, Lexie said she was going to college close to home so she could come cuzzle any time.
But she weaned just shy of her 6th birthday so i guess she didn't quite make it.
