Boob Talk
O saw me when I was getting into the shower and said, "Mom, are you checking your boobies to make sure there are no bumps?" She then proceeded to instruct me on the proper way to perform a self breast exam.
This one needs an explanation. We have a door hanger from the Red Cross and on one side is a self breast exam picture with instructions and the other side has a male exam picture. LT and I always hide it from each other and have done so for over a decade. We think it's funny and we try to surprise each other. Sometimes it takes months for the other to find it. For example, last year LT put it in my tent bag so I would find it when I set up my tent for YW Camp. I've put it in his work bag or church meeting binder. Anyway, O was dusting our bedroom and found it. I had it on the top of a chest as a reminder to hide it. She brought it to me, well, first I heard her freak out, then she brought it to me. She asked about the male side because there is a pretty picture.
O - "Does dad have to do that to his tentacles? Does he have to look for bumps? Does dad do his test?" Oh dear!
This next statement may come as a shock to many of you, and Rachel P, this is along the lines of the pink make-up bag. Recently, I made hair bows with a friend. Take some time to let that sink in. Actually, I didn't make them as much as I spent time with a friend who makes them. Anyway, on to the boob story. O saw them on my desk and said, "Wouldn't it be funny if you put them on your boobies? You would have flower boobies." HA, she unknowingly discovered pasties.
I saw a 3rd nipple for the first time in my life. It was on a guy sitting next to me on our last dive trip. It was windy and cold, so, it was noticeable.
O came into our bed one morning to snuggle and part of that included me protecting my lofty mountains. This conversation followed;
LT - "I give you the father's curse that your daughter will be as obsessed with boobs as you are."
O - "Dad, I don't like boobs anymore."
LT - "That's too bad, you're about to get some."
This is LT's cousin, Anna. She said it was okay to share this picture. I thought it would fit quite nicely in the boob section of this post. Hooray for a zombie boob grab.
