Debatable Value

Baby food

Niblets from flickrMy wife Kari uses the word “eating” to describe what my son Will does when he’s breastfeeding. But people “eat” things like corn niblets. And cream of wheat. Neither of which are produced by my wife’s breasts.

The word eating seems wrong to me in a literal sense, but that’s not what bothers me. It’s the place in my brain where breastfeeding meets corn niblets that bothers me.
