Another fun dinner conversation, with a 7 year old

We had dinner at my grandmas tonight. The topic of dinner was the whole superbowl halftime thing. My aunt and grandma thought it was just the worst thing that a boob was on the tv. The rest of us didn’t see the big deal. You see just as much on commercials. Then we got to talking about the stink going on with mothering magazine having to cover the picture on the cover of the breastfeeding mom. This started a conversation I will never forget.

Tyler, my dear sweet 7 year old. Taps me on the shoulder. I am talking so I tell him to hold on. He does it again and I repeat that I am talking to hold on. So he blurts out at the DINNER TABLE….
WAS I A BREAST FED BABY? We all just started laughing at him. I explain that no, he wasn’t because he refused. He was to lazy to wake up and latch on and so on. So we continue talking, he says… I WANT TO BREAST FEED!! He is banging his fork and spoon on the table at the same time he is saying it.  I spit my milk out and everyone was laughing again. He wouldn’t hush at all, and it didn’t help that we were all laughing. I explained he was to old to do it,  and he says, Man, that isn’t fair. Then went on about his business. Now, all he is saying when he sees me, mom,I wanna breast feed. UGH…The life with a 7 year old boy. I just thought I would share this funny story.
