Do you wanna nurse??

I got on the C train going uptown during rush hour, and the train was pretty crowded, naturally. 

I’m standing, hanging on to the bar, and this large woman with mousy hair gets on…on her back, she had a baby in a bookbag (maybe it was one of those baby-carrier things, but it sure didn’t look safe).  The person sitting just below where I was standing stood up to let the lady with the baby in the bookbag sit.  She plunks down with her baby still in the bookbag, and sits back, smushing the kid between her and the back of the seat.  

Well of course, the baby started crying and the mother just couldn’t understand why (maybe it’s because you're crushing her, you cow!)…so the mother starts asking – 

“What’s the matter, why are you crying baby?  Why are you crying honey?  Are you crying because you wanna nurse?”  

Then louder, “Do you want to nurse?  Yeah, yeah, coo coo, I think you wanna nurse, you’re hungry and you need my milk.  Let’s nurse!”  

She then pulls out one bloated udder of a tit and lets it hang out while she struggles to get the crying baby out of the sack on her back, all the while repeatedly asking at the top of her lungs, “DO YOU WANNA NURSE?!”  Almost everyone around her cleared out, and that kid was probably drinking for days.
