I'm no mail at the moment but I had to pass on this
anecdote.

My son is in 10th grade. His French teacher has a game where
she gives the kids somewhat unusual English words, the kids
have to define the word in French and the other kids have to
see if they can guess the English word.

The definition was 'something babies drink from',
my son's immediate response was 'breast'. The boys
in the class snickered about knowing where my son's
head was. The girls laughed at first and then a
few of them did a double take and said, "Yea, that
makes sense." That's the funny part.

The sad part is that the word was 'baby bottle'!

But I was very proud of my son (and not at all
surprised.) Another point for normalizing breasts
and breastfeeding!
