of 3 yr old girls and boys came into the women's bathroom to "powder their noses" so-TA-speak while i was nursing max at church today.
all of a sudden they were standing in a semi-circle around me.
uncomfortably close.
sheesh, is anything showing?
hanging out?
this is what i was thinking.
i've never been so happy to have my nursing cover on for once.
the following conversation occurred...
"why is your baby crying?"
she's hungry.
"are you going to feed your baby?"
i am.
"with a bottle?"
no.
"how are you feeding her then?"
"pizza? sometimes we eat pizza at my house"
"why is she covered up?"
b/c i'm feeding her.
"with a bottle?"
yup, you got it.
(b/c at this point i'm reminding myself they're 3,
and
why am i trying to explain that max is sucking on something that is not a bottle).
"why are you covering her up?"
so she can eat without...
she's trying to sleep.
and then their teacher shuffled them off to class again.
at the end i figured honesty really wasn't the best policy.
