One of my best friends has three children. When her daughter, the oldest, was 4, my (very intelligent, really!) friend was simultaneously nursing a 10-month old and pregnant with her third (don’t ask; apparently it’s possible to get pregnant on the last day of one’s period – who knew?)
My friend was with her 4-year-old daughter in the shower, sleepily trying to kill two birds with one stone by getting herself and her daughter clean while the 10-month old slept.
Ever curious and cute, the four-year-old girl gazed up at her pregnant mommy.
“Mommy,” she observed, “your boobs are loooonnngggg.”
My friend chuckled and explained what happens to a woman’s body while she’s nursing (AND pregnant, no less).
The four-year-old took it all in and thought for a moment, quite pensive. She again looked up at her mommy and then down at her own chest, the cogs turning furiously in her four-year-old mind.
She then concluded, quite reasonably: “I must have gotten Daddy’s boobs.”
