At the risk of sounding naive, I have to say that the term "witch's ***" 
did bother me in the e-mail. The second word is something I discourage 
people from using, because of the sexual reification it accomplishes, 
and the way a beautiful part of the human body becomes a swear word.

I'm hoping, rather naively again, I imagine, that there's a possibility 
it's just the fact that it's a witch breastfeeding that has to be 
explained. I mean, I know kids may think of the mothers who nurture and 
nurse them as being bad witches, sometimes, but it's not a connection I 
like them to make more often than -- necessary.

Maybe I'll see if any of my girls want to go out as Breastfeeding Divas. LOL
