Several years ago I asked my then pre-school middle son what he would say if
someone asked him how to breastfeed a baby: "you wiggle that pink thing on the
baby's lips till he opens his mouth real big like this". We had a little
anatomy terminology chat- pink thing=nipple, but I thought that was a pretty
good instruction based on his observations.

And if you are about to eat something yummy, it's better to stay clear of my
youngest who will all too often find the word "Nestle" on it and take it to
the garbage for you.
