Damn Anglo Breasts
TREVOR: So, do you hate Lisa C. right now?WORKING: Hate Lisa C.? Why?
TREVOR: Because she posted how much she's enjoying breast feeding, how well it's going.WORKING: (snarls) A little. But she is Italian, isn't she?TREVOR: What's that got to do with it?WORKING: Well that one public health nurse told me that she found that fair-skinned women - women with freckles - typically have more painful experiences with breast feeding.TREVOR: Oh right. That's so weird. I wonder what it is?
WORKING: We Anglo types have problematic tissue.TREVOR: That reminds me of when I was traveling with so-and-so in Malaysia and he was so grumpy for days and days and finally I just asked, "dude, what's your problem?" and he said he had really bad crotch chafe. Discomfort makes Anglo-type people grumpy.WORKING: Crotch chafe. Ouch.TREVOR: So ever since then when white people are grumpy, I just think they probably have crotch chafe, or an ingrown hair or a hang nail - WORKING: Or they're breast feeding.
TREVOR: Exactly.

TREVOR: He just rubbed his face.WORKING: Okay.TREVOR: He just yawned.WORKING: Good.TREVOR: And he's resting his head against me.WORKING: So? What are you trying to say?TREVOR: Just keeping you up to date on the bedtime situation. Keeping your breasts abreast, so to speak.
WORKING: We Anglo types have problematic tissue.
TREVOR: Exactly.
