Breastfeeding and blogging from my iPhone.

On the way to the dentist, I was talking to Dakota and Dillon and telling them how baby Ryan would be here soon. Dakota said "I hope we have enough baby food.". And I said "Well actually, mommy is going to try to breast feed so there is always free food for the baby." The boys asked me what breastfeeding meant. I thought about it and decided they were going to find out soon enough so...."Boys, sometimes God gives mommies food, like milk, in their boobies to feed their babies.". YUCK GROSS DISGUSTING is all I heard. Dillon said "Sick mom, like a cow?" Then they seemed genuinely confused on how the baby gets the milk out. I told them Ryan would drink right from my boobs. That was it. They were officially grossed out. Dillon said "You mean she will put her mouth on your nostrils?" Dakota said "They aren't nostrils dummy, they are called nibbles. Nostrils are what the doctors took out of our throats.". At that point I was not sure whether or not to continue to explain breastfeeding or to correct their gross misunderstanding of the human body. Suddenly, my car stalled and died, and I have never been so excited to break down in my life. My car started back up momentarily, but by that point the boys had moved onto talking about Pokemon and I was able to finish my drive without talking about the female anatomy.
