If you want breast milk…meow

December 12, 2011:  While on this train heading to the main bus terminal in Brasilia, I noticed a Brazilian woman sitting in the corner with her husband and their adorable 4 year old daughter.  Wired on sugar she was waving around her toy bubble gun being cute, saying something in Portuguese that I didn’t understand.  Climbing all over her mom like she was a jungle gym she got a smackdown – immobilizing her for only a few brief minute or two.

Dropping into her moms lap, I saw that the girl was imitating a kitten.  “Meooooow – meow – meow,” she goes.  Then I noticed she was trying to pull up her mom’s shirt, thinking that the girl is now pretending to be a kitten being fed.  But…seconds later, her mom’s shirt goes up as the girl goes under, attaching her mouth onto her mom’s breast for a refreshing mid-morning drink of warm milk at body temperature.

Once finished, the little girl seemed to quickly crave chocolate, grabbing a big chuck of it from her father on the floor next to them.  Now this is my question:  Don’t you think the girl should have eaten the chocolate before drinking her mother’s breast milk, instead of after?
