Flagitious is dictionary.com’s word of the day today. And I just found it ironic because of something that I heard today. Kind of a funny story actually. My cousin has been dating this boy (my husband’s cousin, as luck would have it), for a little over a year now. Well. My aunt told her 2 daughters and her daughter’s boyfriend that if all of the doors were locked and they couldn’t get into the house, to try to go through one of the windows. Well today, Jimi (my cousin’s boyfriend, my husband’s cousin) got to the house before everyone got home and he doesn’t have a key. Well, he had to get into the house somehow so he tried all of the doors (all locked). So then, he was trying all of the windows. A woman who
works at a business across the street from my aunt’s house, saw him trying the windows and called the police. Jimi was put in handcuffs and shackles and detained in a police car until they could reach my aunt on her cell phone. Now, this may not seem as funny to you as it does to me, but then I guess that you would have to know my family and Jimi.
I've taken note that I complain too much here. I'm going to stop. Other than Jimi's near-jail incident, little happened today. I did learn something about myself though. You see, I had a breastfeeding class tonight (first baby, thought I'd give it a shot...that is, until I get bit). And I've realized that since I got pregnant, it's quite a bit harder to embarrass me ... or for me to embarrass myself. Talking about nipples and adjusting a doll into the various nursing positions (complete with squishing our boobs into a "breast sandwich") would normally devastate me into climbing under my chair and hiding my face behind my pamphlets.
[ I will admit though that I did turn red and snicker a little bit when the woman pulled out a stuffed boob and pulled a string on the back to show us the difference between a "good" nursing nipple, a flat nipple, and an inverted nipple. ]
Oh, and I almost ran someone over today on my way home from my breastfeeding class. He was walking (in the dark) in a black jacket and I almost didn't see him. Stupid Lucky kid.
