on defeating biology pt. 2

maybe i need to expand on this a little more...

a couple of weeks ago, i was rocking my young son to sleep for his afternoon nap when i felt a dampness on my chest. being the parent of a toddler, i'm used to getting drenched by his saliva and sweat (especially around nap time) so i didn't think much of it at the time. after a few minutes, i laid my son down and, looking down at my outer shirt (a button-down) noticed that there was no evidence of residual drool/sweat.

so, i went about my business for the remainder of the day.

later that evening, i removed my outer shirt and noted a discoloration on my undershirt. closer examination revealed a circular mark (slightly larger than a silver dollar) with legs placed near my right nipple.

there was no correlating mark on my outer shirt, leading me to believe that the moisture had come not from an outside source, but from my own body. i don't believe it is likely that i sweated in that particular shape (and besides, the discoloration of the shirt implies that the liquid more more substantial than sweat).

so, basically, yeah, i lactated.

take that, biology!
