Nips out!

So I'm sitting in the back of a taxi and woman gets in with a baby. There are two men in front minding their own business. The baby's pretty cute but promptly begins to cry. No amount of bouncing, talking in weird chirpy voices, poking, or rocking helps this thing. Finally some motherly instinct way deep down inside (perhaps the same one that assisted me in cleaning up my 3-yr-old cousin when he pooped all over the floor of my bathroom yesterday and yelled "kari i pooped in my underwear!" at the top of his lungs) made me put my finger in this kid's mouth. Well that worked wonders. However, while he sucked away at my first knuckle his oblivious mother starts saying "There you go. .. auntie gave you a little breast to suck on. . . there you go. . . suck on auntie's breast. . . " Well you better believe those two men in the front seat tried their damndest not to turn around--unsuccessfully. Their heads started around and snapped back at least three times before they caught a glimps of auntie's first finger and lost all faith in the world. The stories always happen in the taxis here, don't they
