From the beginning...

From the moment they appeared, you've touched, dressed, played and stared in amazement at them. Your breasts - your great twin mysteries.

So many questions arose in your mind as the first buds begin to emerge from your puberty riddled body; How big will they be? Even worse, how small will they stay? Will they be perky, droopy, round or flat? And what female doesn't let the question cross her mind as she dresses for the day... "How do my boobs look in this?"

Then came the names. You know, the official names given to your breasts by just about everyone.

Dad - Rosebuds.
Mom - Those things (as in " you will not go out of this house with "those things" falling out of your shirt)
First boyfriend - Bazoomas
Second Boyfriend - Holy Cow! (not officially a name, but all he can say after seeing them)
Girlfriends - The Girls (nice way of referring to you breasts when they want to say your boobs look good in that)

As you got older and your relationship with your breasts blossomed, did it ever cross your mind that your breasts were made to function in the most important role imaginable ?

Babies are born to breastfeed. Therefore we have them. Not to entice, flaunt, enhance, or surgically alter. But to nourish the most precious beings on the planet - your children.

Inside your bra is the power to preserve the human race. Your breasts have the ability to nourish and grow a baby from birth to a thriving toddler. No heat, water, plastic parts or powder required. Just feed the Mommy person and whamo! The perfect food is served at the perfect temperature, given through the perfect delivery device. AMAZING!

So why would a mother choose to bottle feed? I have my theories. And I will share them with you.
