"Girl, you know what I saw last night at the casino? A girl, in the ladies' room... you know that sitting area with the sofas? I went in there, with my drink, just to relax a little... and this girl is in there, on the other sofa, sitting in jeans, with her backpack next to her, and her hardhat. A hardhat! She puts this little blanket over herself, and at first, I thought, 'I didn't see no baby.' I said something to her, and she tells me she's pumping for her baby. Milk. For her six-month-old. In the casino bathroom."
Yes, last night, I pumped in the ladies' room at the casino. Kind of strange (for me, and probably for the lady who sat down across from me), but it worked.
I'm now working a couple of evenings a week, painting at a construction site across from the casino. Hence, my visit to the casino, and the hardhat next to me.
Greeeeat story. I love how you put us in the other perspective.

Posted by: Hannah at June 2, 2006 09:57 PMThis is hilarious! The hardhat just puts it over the edge. A hardhat, bah ha! Someone with a hardhat pumping milk. Excellent juxtaposition (or however you spell that).
Posted by: Elaine at June 5, 2006 02:47 AMThat's just classic! I've been known to pump in a boat, in a car and even in a airport!
Hey, a momma's gotta do what a momma's gotta do!
