3/Secrets & Lies

When I was a breastfeeding adviser, my oldest stepdaughter was at Harvard Law. She recruited her friends to call me with fake breastfeeding problems. One I recall fondly was a timid young mother who mumbled, "My left breast" repeatedly. After a great deal of gentle coaxing she revealed the nature of the problem: "It fell off."

    My daughter was a biter too. Not to this extent, though.

      When she told me it fell off? Laughter! I knew immediately it was one of Nancy's friends, although I didn't know until that moment. It eventually reached the point where I was so braced for Nancy's friends' phone calls that I mistook someone else's legit call for one of them. But that's another story.
