NURSING THE BABY

AS I WAS NURSING MY BABY,

MY COUSIN'S SIX-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER,

KRISSY, CAME INTO THE ROOM. 

NEVER HAVING SEEN ANYONE

BREAST FEED BEFORE,

SHE WAS INTRIGUED AND FULL OF

ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS

ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING.

AFTER MULLING OVER MY ANSWERS,

SHE REMARKED,

"MY MOM HAS SOME OF THOSE,

BUT I DON'T THINK SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM."
