Thanks for the honorable mention! I am excited:) The reason I did it was: 1. Your site reminded me and 2. I have a friend my age that just had a baby and had to have a mastectomy when her baby was 6 months old. Very scary.

I call them the girls. I don’t know why, it started long ago. It seemed better than saying “my boobs.” Maybe not….

That’s too funny. I never really thought about it before. My sister and I were always called the girls, too. It was just the two of us and everyone always just expected us to be together. I call my three boys The Boys, too. I guess I should take more time to stop and call them their names so they don’t get upset.

I do the same thing with my boys (3and 1 1/2) I’m sure they will protest this as they get older. They are so close in age that I end up treating almost like twins. This too shall pass!

So were they really calling you both “Boobs” way back then? Hmmm… Never had a name for them before you started the whole SBE thing. So really, it’s all your fault. (And since I’m Irish, I think I can call them “lassies” all the time!)

Gotta say that, for me, referring to anatomical items as “the girls” has always been slightly horrifying. As does the phrase, “the twins.” I mean, Yikes! But to hear tv personalities so those phrases (think Stacy and Clinton) is funny in the embarrassing kind of way! But, it’s way better than “boobies/boobs,” etc. Especially when one’s sons think it’s the height of comic genius to utter the phrases over and over again . . .

I guess it could have been worse – we could have referred to you as “you guys.” It was so refreshing to see that you say “the boys” as an affectionate shorthand way of referring to Ethan, Caden and Seth. I hope you don’t mind if sometimes I still think of you as “my girls”.
Love, J-mom

Yup. Totally glad we never succumbed to ‘The Girls’ given their current popularity as an alias for boobs.
