In the spirit of Redneck Comedy…here are my top 12 reasons You Might Just Be a Crunchy Mama
1) If you’ve ever breastfed in Costco/The dentist’s chair/a parent teacher conference/church service/doctor’s office or any other public place-simply because your baby was hungry…you might just be a crunchy mama.
2) If you’ve ever held your baby in arms while figuring out how to undo your jeans with one hand-because nature was calling and your baby would cry if put down even for 5 minutes…you might just be a crunchy mama.
3) If you’ve ever donated your breast milk to a baby in need, or fed another woman’s infant when she was ill…you might just be a crunchy mama.
4) If you know the difference between a Mei Tai and a Mai Tai…you might just be a crunchy mama.
5) If you have ever held your 3 month old infant over a public restroom toilet, expecting her to actually pee-and she did-you might just be a crunchy mama.
6) If you don’t have to wear a scarf under your winter coat, because your baby keeps you nice and cozy…you might just be a crunchy mama.
7) If you have ever found out after the fact that your kids had played with someone who might have been contagious from the chicken pox, and actually HOPED your kids would get it…you might just be a crunchy mama.
