(Thankfully there is no boob showing, but look at those chins...ugh.)
Edited to add...Now that I reread this post, it seems more suitable as an entry to David Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks," right next to the dog that could open the fridge and grab a beer, and a cat that can meow the National Anthem. You know, those of us with true talent.

I knew you were amazing, but some these really take the cake! Wow! I am impressed. I was able to multi-task, but never like you!
WOW! You can do more while nursing than I can do all day! Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read! Hilarious! and well done you!
(I was cruising, and found your blog. LOVE IT!)
HOW oh how did you manage to nurse while teaching your class?? WOW!
How do you do it without flashing a boob is my question! I've gotten pretty good about nursing anywhere, but I still occasionally flash because my child is a curious one...
First, I can attest to the nursing while teaching; I witnessed it first hand, as a colleague. Well, I presume that's what was going on under the baby blanket. Outwardly, there was no indication.
Secondly, it's a good thing you can multi-task. In a previous post, how many years did you say you'd been nursing?
Thirdly, thanks for a chuckle!
Wowie! You are THEE MOM!
You must be double-jointed. Or a gymnast.
wow! I can barely nurse when I am nursing!!
Wow, you can do more while you're nursing than I can while bottle feeding. I am impressed! Guess multi-tasking is a do or die trait when raising six kids!!! :)
You have quite a talent!! lol
This is why God gave this job to us. Can imagine a man attempting to multitask like that! LOL.
