So, I have this sort of pet peeve at home, that totally slapped me in the face in Uganda. As many of you know, I have a strong dislike for breast feeding in public - if you're covered that's one thing, but don't just whip it for everyone! Well, in Uganda, boobs are no big deal; in fact I would say they are only seen as a means of feeding babies - and no one cares about them otherwise. Women with babies will literally just pull them out anywhere, in front of anyone - family, friends, strangers, anyone, like it's nothing. I look over, and suddenly there's a boob, with or without a baby attached, just hanging out. I talked to a woman who just left it hangin' there, long after the baby was done with it; I had to resist the urge to be like, "so, ya gonna put that away, or what?"
Bras, especially amongst the ladies with babies, are like a maybe, sometimes thing. And, oh, btw, they sell them in the Wednesday market on the side of the road (next to the Arsenal or Man U underwear, of course). Oh and I'm pretty sure the two year old I lived with is a bit confused now about what is public vs. private property, after seeing mom bust 'em out. Whoa buddy, do NOT pull down my tank top!
