Hooray for Mister Rogers.
My seven-year-old boy came back from school the other day, and one of his
homework was to read the story of a pet skunk. Did you know that skunks
always have six babies ? And there was an illustration of the six baby
skunks in craddles, WITH BOTTLES.
I was upset. Still am. Wondering whom to call at the ministry of
education. Maybe they will answer to me that breastfeeding is a personal
choice and we must be careful not to make skunks feel guilty.
