My six year-old daughter and her friend were eating dinner one night. We
were talking about amusing things toddlers and babies do when my
daughter's friend remarked, "When I was a baby, I used to throw my
bottle at my brother!"  She thought this was hilarious.  My children
stopped laughing and my daughter whispered, "Mom, she said the B-word!"
The "B" word being bottle, of course.

We also watch "Blue's Clues" and when my kids saw the bottle as the
correct answer, they reassured me, "Mom, I think there's breastmilk in
the bottle, so don't freak out!"  How well they know me!!!

On the other hand, I recently did freak WAY out when a beautician
recently informed me that the reason my permanent did not come out well
was because I was breastfeeding. When I asked her to explain the
physiological process and to show me scientific data, she just shook her
head.  You can imagine my reaction!  Anyway, she finally agreed to re-do
the perm at no charge.  This one takes the cake!
