We were recently visiting my sister when Riley was made aware that his baby cousin, Ariana was drinking from his Aunt. Riley has seen this before but was probably not old enough to question it, however now that he's 4 he just had to know what the deal was with breast feeding.
So he asks my sister "What is Ariana eating?" ..she replies "Milk"
Riley: But where does it come from?
Aunt K: It comes from me.
R: Oh, do you drink a lot of milk?
A. K: I guess so.
R: Well, how would the milk get there?
Me: Yes, Riley that's exactly how it works. . .
At this point we think he is assuming that my sisters breast is being used as a bottle and that she drinks milk so that she can feed the baby. Which in some ways I suppose is true, but it would be far to difficult to try and explain to him why his logic is incorrect.
