Day 6
My breast rant…Here is the thing, I am offended by how much people are offended by breastfeeding. It isn’t like this is a novel idea. I wish more people in the US would breastfeed since we know it is best for the baby. Here, women pull their breast out without a second thought, no embarrassment, no concern and no one is offended by it…this is a language that actually has two different words for breast. The first is pecho which is a mans breast or a womans breast for feeding a baby (leche de pecho = breast milk) and then there is sano which is a sexy breast essentially. A baby doesn’t drink from a sano, he drinks from a pecho and men don’t go to a strip club to see pechos, they go to see sanos. Maybe we should think up a new word for the breast when it is being used to feed a baby and then we won’t be so offended by breastfeeding...later today after a nap and some recovery, I will write more about my day and my love, or lack their of, of taxis.
