I know the subject words used are the "official" (call it medical if you
wish) wording for what we are talking about, but I prefer the old phrase
that I learned about many many (too many!) years ago, that after weaning
our baby(ies), our breasts look "lived in and loved."

Having reached the age of wisdom (let's hear it, Jan B!), do any of the
rest of our bodies look quite as pert and perky as it did when we were
teens, in our "still tight 20s", etc?  My mirror tells me otherwise.....

Why are we so concerned that our breasts defy gravity and time?  Have you
ever noticed how babies and young children love to snuggle next to (on top
of?) those soft pillows that grandmas often have on *their* chests?  (Some
of us get them BEFORE we become grandmas!)

So much for attempting interesting word-pictures.... :-)
