My daughter told me this story: A mom in her LLL group was challenged by a relative who asked, voice dripping with sarcasm, "Are you still breastfeeding? Are you in some kind of a contest to see who can nurse the longest?" The mom thought quickly, then replied cheerfully, "Yes - actually we ARE having a contest, and I'm in the lead! Thanks for asking!" The critical relative shut up and left her alone. Linda J.
