So what does Miss. Susie's baby eat?

I was cleaning out some of Sara's baby things and came across three of those sample cans of formula you get when companies are trying to get you to use their product.

I put them on the counter and Paige asked me if I was going to give that to Sara. I told her no, that Sara is a big girl now and drinks milk and that I was going to try and find a baby to give the formula to.

Paige asks me if we should give the formula to Miss Susie's baby. (Miss Susie is our neighbor across the street has a new baby girl that she breastfeeds). I told her no, Miss Susie's baby doesn't drink formula.

Paige asks "So what does Miss Susie's baby eat?" (Please note that I never breastfed either of my kids so Paige has no clue about this whole breastfeeding thing).

Hmm...I think to myself - do I lie to her and give some crap story about how the stork brings her special baby milk? Nah. I'll just bite the bullet and tell the truth.

"Paige, when a mommy has a baby, she gets milk in her boobies that she uses to feed the baby."

Paige asks "How does she get the milk out of the boobies?"

My response, "Well, the baby sucks on the Mommy's boobies and the milk comes out."

Paige gets the biggest grin, rolls her eyes and says "MOM - THAT'S SO SILLY!!!" and just starts giggling. I'm not sure if she believes me but we sort of leave it at that.

Or so I think.

The next morning I drop Paige off at daycare and she walks up to her little girlfriend and asks her "Did you drink milk out of your Mommy's boobies?" Yeah, I'm mortified, looking around to see if anyone else heard that. I quickly tell Paige that's not something we ask our friends and left it at that.

I swear, I was waiting all day to get a phone call from daycare asking me to pick my child up. I never got one and we haven't talked about that since... If she asks where babies come from, I'm using the stork line.
