Hi all,

My uncle just sent me this story! Doesn't say whether the baby was definitely
breastfed or not, but given the description, my guess is yes!

Smiles,

Carol Schlef, RNC, MSW, IBCLC
in (today) sunny St. Louis, where it can't decide if it's winter or summer!

As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection. A thick slab of ham, a fresh bun,
crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard.

The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the picnic
table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my
wife suddenly at my side.

"Hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich," she said.

I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching again
for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard on my fingers.

I love mustard.
I had no napkin.
I licked it off.

It was not mustard.

No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the first and only time I have
sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand I did the
sort of routine shoeshine boys do, only I did it on my tongue.

Later (after she stopped crying from laughing so hard) my wife said, "Now you
know why they call that mustard 'Poupon.'"
