This happened at the beginning of June, and I am just now blogging about it because it was SO HUMILIATING. Okay, deep breaths, here I go. At the end of the school year it is my obligation and pleasure to stand on the stage in front of the whole school and hand out diplomas to my graduating 8th graders. Their parents come to the stage and I stand off to the side while they say a few things about their amazing kid. During one of the speeches I started to think, "Wow, how embarrassing would it be if my milk let down right here on stage and seeped through my cute new tube top dress?" Then I mentally reprimanded myself and said," Quit thinking of that, the more you think about it the more possible it is that it will happen." And so my mental battle went on for about 2 minutes until finally I looked down and yup, you guessed it, a small puddle of milk was forming on my left breast. I turned to the PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD next to me and whispered," Um, I have to get off stage right now, I am going to leak right through my shirt." He just stared straight ahead and nodded. I then had to go figure out a way to hide the milk stain and GO BACK ON STAGE because the diplomas weren't over yet. I twisted my tube top to the side so the milk stain was under my armpit. I could have just died. Did I really lactate ON STAGE in front of my whole school, their parents, grandparents and other judgmental moms? Yes I did, friends, yes I did. And did I recount this story just for your listening pleasure? Yes I did friends, yes I did.

I hate to laugh, but I can't help it! Isn't that the worst though? you keep telling yourself, "don't think about it, don't think about it." But you ARE still thinking about it and there is nothing that you can do.
Thank goodness you could maneuver your dress like that! good thinking!!
It happens to the best of us. Really. Why would any one judge you for it? It just means you're a good mom.
that is an AWESOME story. :) I haven't had any quite that bad but def. have leaked in public and been totally embarrassed. :)
