Sometimes its not. But with a family of 6 at least its usually something.

The Female Body
My oldest child is very excited about the female body. Today while I was nursing Dylan and the other two kids were sound asleep in their beds, Emma and I had a very good conversation about just how amazing our bodies are. First came the question as to what kind of milk Dylan drinks. This is a topic that occasionaly arises around our house since Dad drinks cow milk and the kids drink rice milk. Emma was wondering what kind Dylan drank. So I said simply, mommies milk. But that wasn't good enough, their had to be an actual name to it. So I said, its called Breast milk. Then came a lot more questions which I answered the best to my ability about how when mommies have a baby God made their bodies to make breastmilk to feed their babies. This really excited her for some reason and she started talking very rapidly about how she was someday going to feed her baby (at this point she is pointing at her chest) on this side, then on this side, then on this side again...and suddenly she looks at me with a concerened look and says "what happens when its all gone?"
