Somewhat the same, yet decidedly not

Late Saturday afternoon I found myself on the couch with a cold beer in my hand, munching on junk food and watching a classic ending to a college football game. For a minute there it felt like the old days, when Saturdays could be spent horizontal and half-buzzed, shooting the shit with a bunch of unkempt, malodorous louts.

Except on either side of me sat my wife and our friend Danielle, who were breastfeeding their children and debating, in somewhat intimate detail, the pros and cons of various nursing bras.

Fight On!

it's a barve new world. i think it's a miracle you got the beer and football at all. hold on to that, firend. hold on to that.

Wow. Boobs AND Football. At least you were half-buzzed!

Yeah -- boobs and beer and babes and ball! The holy quad of male experience.

Everyone beat me to the punch with the comments. Dammit! Okay, just for pride's sake:
"Back in your college days you probably would have thought that having two chicks with their boobs out would have been hot."
Nevermind.

As an old diehard fan of ND I was watching the game as hard as I could while reading "Once Upon a Potty" to the 22 month old on my lap.

"was it a milk bowl for the OH MY GOD THE CLOCK RAN OUT WE WIN!!!! cat?"

"Nooooo."

Stupid green jerseys. Just. Stop. Wearing. Them.

Man, what I wouldn't give for a few hours of beer and football....did you have any malodorous louts about? Or for good times sake you could have just skipped a few diaper changes.....

Just. Too. Funny.

Threesome!

too funny.

Are you complaining? I'm not sure, because apparently, it sounded like you had a Saturday that involved football, beer and boobs?

Is that somehow wrong for you?

This definately would be considered for "what's wrong with this picture?"

Man, what a buzzkill! Unless of course you were too into the zone to really pay attention! :)

It's probably best not to comment on whether the new arrangement was better or worse; it was just different.

OK, it was better.

I find it hard to avert my eyes when one of the wife's friends is bustin' out the fun-bags. You're a better man than I. I would have shut off the crappy college game and busted out a bag of tea and cookies.

I was just poking around in your "about me" section and found the picture of "this face" covered in threats. Do you realize how tempting that is? I want to post it just to see what would happen. Of course, it wouldn't be the first time an infant dined on my carcass.

I wrote that at a heady time. I've been wronged before.

the banner is fabulous--you continue to stun and amaze. took me about 15 seconds of staring at it!

That's hilarious. I got to go out with my friend Allan the other day without Jack, and still spent the whole time talking about him.
Parenthood changes us, but in a good way I think.

Hee! My hubby is so used to my friends and I nursing our babes that he doesn't even notice when some of my less than discreet friends let it all hang out. He thinks that's a sad commentary on his life these days.
