An Intimate Conversation

Ben accompanied me on a little bra shopping expedition to Macy's this afternoon. After helping me make my choices, he sat patiently on a bench outside the dressing room waiting for me to try them on. When I came out again, this is the conversation we had.

Ben: Mama?

Me: Yes, Ben?

Ben: Mama, do you like these breasts?
(I look over and he's holding out a bra for me to see.)

Me: Yes, I do like those breasts.

Ben: Don't they feel soft?
(As he softly caresses the cups on a skin-toned bra.)

Me: I'm sure they do buddy.

The sales lady and I couldn't help but share a giggle. All I could think of was this: I sure hope he doesn't bring home a girl when he's sixteen and ask me the same question!
