The other day I learned that if you want to stir up some controversy on your blog...write about breastfeeding. When I started this blog nine months ago, I thought there would be controversy over my assertion that Jodi Picoult was "selling out" with her last book or that The Stolen Child
with it's magical realism was neither magical nor real to me! After
almost 45 years as a female, it really hadn't sunk in yet that it's
really all about boobs!
The following letter to the editor in the Sun-Sentinel speaks for itself...no need for my stupefied editorializing:
"To all of the idiots who think it's OK to breastfeed a baby in the middle of a restaurant because it's a 'natural function,' just remember that urinating is also a natural function, so I'll be bringing a bucket with me next time I go to Houston's.
Hope you're ready to explain that one to the kids."
Yes, sir...I think I am ready to explain this to my kids...and my blog-reading public. What I can't explain is how one could actually sign one's name to this and have it published in the newspaper.
