Grieving father takes boobie handouts

It starts out as a sad story. This guy and his wife, both college professors, are having their second child. Something goes terribly wrong. The mom dies during childbirth.

Then it just gets weird.

Apparently, the parents were "firm believers" in breastfeeding. But you would think that the loss of the mother would change this, and the baby would be formula fed, right?

Nope.

Approximately 25 of women from the area have rallied around, to lend a boob to baby Moses. Yes, the women of the town go to this guy's house in shifts to breastfeed the baby. WTF?

I am not kidding you.

First of all, how could this boob belief be so strong that you would want stranger women coming into your house to whip out their ta-tas for your newborn son? And secondly, how is this kid NOT confused out of his mind? So many boobs, so little time.

But it's not just feed and run for these ladies, no, no!

"They don't just drop by for five minutes and leave," Goodrich said. "These are loving, nurturing women. They're proud of what they're doing. They're proud of the community, and they're proud of their new micro-community."

Yes indeed, proud of the milk they squirt.

And maybe trying to make the moves on the grieving dad.

This whole thing just boggles my mind. I guess I'm just not good-natured enough to think I'd ever lend a boob. I mean, we aren't pilgrims. There are other means by which to feed the baby! Whatever makes them happy though. I just hope one of the boob stripers doesn't have AIDS. Or psychotic tendencies.
