Sex Education

The other day at Costco a woman was breastfeeding her infant at the table next to us.

Ethan begins to point at her and say "Daddy, look at that." I gesture him over to me, and shush him a bit as I think it's a little rude. I also think to myself teachable moment. So I say quietly: "Ethan, that's her breast, and the baby is getting milk from it"

He looks at me like I have two heads. "No daddy, look at that" and points directly at her again.

What I had failed to notice was that on a direct line between us and the breast-feeding woman, her older son was playing with a cool looking Star Wars ship.



A for effort
D for execution

Okay, that was funny -- and I love your photo on this one. Busy surgeon and supreme blogger, that's my baby brother!

Dude....you suck...ah...ah...you know what I mean!

BTW...don't loose the magic...would you Eric Nelson hear the sleigh bell in the Polar Express movie?...not if you just saw a breast and not the freakin coolest Starwars ship ever. Unfortunately, Dr. Nelson, you are all grown up...unless you are on a bike!
