We have received our first "No." The scene: our living room, roughly 2 hours ago. Laura and Chris are watching the remake of "The Producers". Uma Thurman is singing about having It and flaunting It. Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane are significantly affected. Laura turns to Chris and asks, "Are boobs magic?" Chris responds, "Hers are." Laura: Only hers? Chris: In "Kill Bill" she had like no boobs at all, and now look at them! Laura: But that's not what I mean. Chris: You mean, are boobs magic because of their effect on men? Laura: Yes. Chris: Yes they are. But not all of them. Laura: Only some? Chris: Boobs are like a magic wand. You have to know how to shake 'em to get what you want.
Ah, but magic wands are still magic even if you don't know how to use them, so I don't know if I'd count that as a solid "No". More a qualified "Yes"...
Boobs may be magic to guys but not girls. They're always in the way (try golfing lately?) about 1/4 of the month they hurt, and boys are ALWAYS grabbing at them.
As someone whose boobs got put to practical use for quite some time, you'd think I'd consider saying yes. Afterall, being fun playthings AND a handy dandy way to feed a baby is pretty cool.
But, boobs are just too real to be magic. Wonderful, beautiful, sometimes annoying . . . I could probably come up with a really long list of adjectives here. But magic just isn't one of them. Although, the ability to use my breasts to make both baby AND husband shut up (albeit for completely different reasons) sure seems magical from time to time. Too bad Jamie grew out of them - he damn well talks non-stop these days.
