This made me laugh.  My 6.5 year old has recently suggested that since apes
are the other animals closest to us, probably infant formula for babies whose
mothers don't bf them should be made from gorilla or chimpanzee milk.   Yes,
I said, but who will volunteer to milk the gorillas?  No problem, she told
me.  They just need a breastpump.
