Girls Gone Wild Flash Mob

Earlier this week at Sundance Square in Fort Worth, Texas there were more boobs out on display than a Girls Gone Wild video. But they didn't belong to crazy college co-eds who love to party but women who love to breastfeed their children. It was a planned event with the hopes of "normalizing" breastfeeding in public.


Weird, I know. I always mentioned how the Wifey is this big tree-hugging hippie and I guess this is her version of bra-burning but there was a solid purpose. Breastfeeding mothers usually get the stink eye for needing to feed their children.


I'm not one to stop and stare, honestly, I get kinda uncomfortable when the Wifey does it, but I know it's needed to be done. A baby needs to eat. If a baby doesn't eat, it screams. Breastfeeding baby is a lot better than a screaming baby.

But anyways, all these women got together from all over the metroplex, roughly 40 of them, and decided to do a flash mob version of a breastfeeding session. Carpet bombing with breast milk. Breast feeding bombs over Baghdad. And nobody was offended. The cops didn't come out with their riot shields and batons to knock the babies off their respective teets and nobody was photographed making out in the middle of the mayhem.


Maybe Fort Worth is forward thinking and understands that a woman needs to feed their offspring. Or maybe they just don't care. Either way, it was a unique experience and hopefully they are able to bring some normalcy to something so natural.
