Ye Olde Fool
(I am breastfeeding my three-month-old baby quietly in a corner of a medieval festival. I am a participant. In front of me is a display of medieval stuff that I make. A tourist is passing by, and sniffs.)
Tourist: “Like they did that in the middle ages!”
Me: “Do you mean the breastfeeding? Of course they did; how else would they feed their baby?”
Tourist: “If you knew a bit about history, you would know that they hired other women to feed the baby.”
Me: “It is true that high-born ladies hired nursemaids to feed their baby and look after them, but how do you think these hired women fed the baby?”
Tourist: “With a bottle of cow’s milk of course! Jeez!”
