Many years ago, before I worked here, my office phone number was publicly listed as a help line for the La Leche Leaugue (an organization that promotes breast feeding for babies).
Just to be clear, I don’t work for La Leche, we just happen to share a one-time phone number. This means I occasionally answer the phone and the person on the other end asks me about their breast feeding problem, usually in graphic detail, which, let me tell you, is an exciting a way to start a Monday. Just yesterday a lady called and asked me, without so much as a hello, “Do I need to boil the cabbage first?” followed by an informative discussion about “clogged ducts” and “fuuuuuuuuuuuk!” and “HOLY MOTHER OF GOD TAKE THEM OFF.”
As you might imagine, these frank and terrifying discussions are just one of the many, many reasons I tip my hat to all the mamacitas out there. Mothers Day, and all the days in between. There you ladies go, getting it done, feeding your young one way or another, even if it means using an impressive amount of cursing at a stranger on the phone.
Take it away, Mr. T…
Be sure to stick around. It gets reeeul good around the .50 mark.
Mr. T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ack! Hilarious! I didn’t know about the cabbage, but somehow it makes sense to me…why is that????
Don’t cruciferous vegetables cause gas?
Oh my. That poor child.
I love the Mr. T video. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Cold purple cabbage leaves laid on top of the boobies – it works! 🙂
