Been sitting on this story for awhile

Dh was in recruiting from October 2005 until February 2007 in SE WI. While we were there, I'm not sure exactly when, Emily and I walked to the station with her in the stroller, munching on some french fries. When we got there, one of the other recruiters was outside, leaned down and said, "Do you have a num-num? Do ya? Do ya?" and Emily was looking at him like he was completely crazy. I'm trying not to laugh, intending not to say a word, but then he looks up at me and says, "What's wrong with her? Why's she looking at me like that?"
I said, "You just asked if she had the boob, and of course she doesn't, that's why she's looking at you like that."
He said, "Ummm, well, uhhh, then what do you call that?"
"It's a french fry."



I still laugh about it, and it's been at least a year since it happened.

My MIL's best friend and her family call all food num nums, which is what we called nursing. The never understood why, every time after asking her if she wanted numnums she would want me and would cry if they tried to hold her or give her sme other food. Drove me nuts too, b/c they'd do it when I know she wasn't hungry or needed to nurse, but she wanted to after they reminded her of it.

Oh, too funny!!!

When DD was a baby, we were car shopping. DD started making the "milk" sign - and all the car salesmen were like, "Oh, she's trying to wave at us! What a sweetie! Hello! Hello!" She kept looking at them, and then at me, like, "Mama, these guys are really dumb!"

I had to get my thyroid tested today at the doctor's. The tech was doing the whole "squeeze your hand" thing, and Anna said, "Why does the nurse want you to make the sign for milk? Nursing is just for kids, not mommies!"
