Chris Brogan has been asking, what is your super power?
I have dithered. But now I know.
However frustrating, painful and complex I have found the relationships between my brain, our society and my (and women’s) body to be, my breasts make me a super hero.
I can nourish my baby. I can comfort her through teething pain. And, I do not have cancer. WhyMommy’s eloquence shames me with all that I take for granted.

Nonsense. You nourish and love your baby. Hurrah! That is a beautiful gift, and one that will help her forever. It already has.
Kudos to you for using your super power for the forces of good!

Comment by whymommy July 2, 2007 @ 2:02 amHey, any time my name and breasts show up in the same blog post, I’m a sucker for commenting. : )
Congratulations for realizing that you’re a superhero on that score alone. Bringing micro-humans into the universe is definitely far more noble than many other things people do on the given day.
Bon chance. : )
Comment by Chris Brogan... July 2, 2007 @ 9:28 amI love that tee shirt. I’m getting one soon, before my girl weans herself. Which is soon, I’m afraid to say.
