Dear Portland Emigrés

[substitute]

vegemitelover just revealed to me that he's becoming accustomed to breastfeeding in public.

I am nonplussed. I had no idea he was even pregnant, much less that there was a child. As supportive as I am of breastfeeding in the early years, it's hard to see how he could get enough milk from himself to get any benefit. Has he read up on this? I wonder if he may be trying to fake it with a hidden bottle of some kind. I don't want to pry, or to appear too critical of alternative lifestyles, but one has to consider the health of the infant, here.

There's also some business about him doing this with bearded ladies at a computer fair. Is a circus involved? I really don't understand Portland life.

Hugs,

Conrad

Bearded ladies have been breast feeding Vegemitelover at the circus?
Ok, that sounds odd...but would anyone really notice?

You have no idea how embarrassing it is to be sitting around at the pub as he whips out his man-teet.
I swear I'm buying a disguise.

Is he being breast fed by The Human Tripod? She was at the geek fair last weekend.

Don't forget that the human tripod apparently also does kung-fu. Did I also mention that she had REALLY strong hands?
