Having missed the Boob boat...

I realize that it happened over a week ago, and that I saw a copy of the magazine, but I missed the
scandal. And now there a nursing picture on hundreds of blogs. Every where you go, there are boobs. Derek suggested I post a picture San Francisco photographer Lucy Hilmer took of me nursing Ethan (by a window in the lobby bar--the only thing missing was a red ruby martini in my hand and perhaps doing it in on the piano rather than while sitting in the oversized chair). I told him that it may seem odd that my first picture "out" on the blog was of my porn star breast. But in the spirit of solidarity with my peeps, I am posting a story from vacation last year....
On the way
to Costco with my father-in-law (just the three of us--G, me and E), he stated that if I
planned on nursing the baby in Costco, he would like to stop on the way and buy
a t-shirt that says "Grandpa" on it. I told him that if I had to choose between
a screeching baby and exercising my legal rights under Idaho law, I choose the
option that results in silence. He agreed wholeheartedly.
I know that I should think that breastfeeding is for the good of The Boy, but usually my motivation was silence. Motives don't always matter, do they?
