What Are Those?

So, for today.. a funny Adventure in Mommyland.

The other day my husbands cousin graduated from high school! (Congrats Abby!) I went to the party and took all three kiddos. I knew there would be drinking and wanted a DD to be on site, though I didn't end up having to take anyone anywhere. To start off with, YES I took my children around people who were and would be drinking. I was completely sober and I trust myself to watch not only my children but everyone elses for one night while their parent's are having a good time.

Now Anthony's Aunt is one of those for whom pregnancy and nursing did some not so wonderful things for her breasts :/ in her case it took them away.. pretty much completely. So she wears bra inserts when she is not working (she is a plumber) for events. Well she wore them for the graduation and had them out on the table O.o when we arrived.

My son, 3 year old Monkey Man, walked by and doubled back.

MM: What are those?
AJ: Them are my boobs.
MM: *Confused face* Why are they on the table?
Everyone laughed, the kid was more confused, but laughing with them.

I found it greatly amusing and it brought me back to when my 10 month old now five year old yanked his great aunts shirt forward stared down it, then at her face, down her shirt, at her face. Over and over, clearly wondering why she didn't have breasts.

Later I talked with Monkey Man about how some women don't have breasts and what some do to either get them or make it look like they do. He asked lots of questions and walking away from the conversation I still felt greatly amused.  Sometimes you just can't shelter your children. And honestly, there really is no reason to. My child knows what women's breasts are for, in a very naturalistic way. (Feeding babies and attracting a mate) He's three, not stupid. He asks questions and I answer. Period.
