Today, I went shopping with my two-year-old nephew. He threw a tantrum in the middle of the store because I would not show him my "boobies". A man came up to us and said I should do what my nephew wanted. FML

OP here. Having been 'blessed' with a bodacious bustline since early teens, I am used to men having difficulty maintaining eye contact with me, but my nephew has taken it to a new level. I thought that we might have an interesting day because when he came into my room in the morning, one of the first things he said to me was "Boobies gone!" and I said yes, boobies are gone because I was dressed. He then kept on saying 'bring boobies back!', in other words, show him my breasts. And of course I wouldn't. We then go shopping, he got tired and cranky, and thus ended with this situation. He normally is the loveliest and sweetest kid you could imagine. An absolute treasure. I am not just saying that because I am his Aunt. However he does have this obsession with breasts. Well mine in particular. I look very similar to my sister, so I don't know, maybe its a comfort thing going back to when he was breast fed. Then again I have been told I have magically comforting breasts. But he only does it with me so it's not like he is attacking random women in the street asking to see their breasts.

The man was just trying to be helpful, I mean, he probably even offered to unhook your bra too, just in case you might have trouble with doing it yourself. What a gentleman.

Straight women love boobs. Lesbian women love boobs. Gay men love boobs. Straight men love boobs. Moral of the story? Everybody loves boobs!

31...I hit the wrong ?!$& button, thumbs up!!

well if they don't announce they thumbs downed a comment that was actually good by accident their names are put up for the whole world to laugh at and ridicule right?

I would usually say you are being paranoid, but i've been reading through tons of random FML's now, and it's safe to say, you are truly right. Pervs here, peds there, pervs are everywhere!

Like stranger like nephew? Should make more sense, but still sounds stupid

Being a gentlmen myself, I would have been happy to help her with that nasty hook. And later I would have opened the door for her when she finished shopping.

That's just natural instinct for males, OP

That doesn't make it any more socially acceptable.

Why, isn't he a wannabe smartass? but sounds more like an asshole to me

That's a bit harsh. He's just a 2 year old.

78, I'm pretty sure they're referring to the man. Not the kid.

I got that. I was being facetious.

So true Doc, so true. I even love my boobies! Sometimes I play with my boobs. Why? Because I can! One time I asked a close guy friend of mine why guys love boobs so much. His answer was simple, "Because they are there. If women had a hand growing out of their foreheads, we'd want to shake it!" Best answer I have ever heard.

Haha boys will be boys :p Seriously though, maybe let his folks know so they can teach him some manners.

He is not too bad. We left the store straight away and he was happy as soon as he got his dummy and we went home for a nap. I agree that a smack is appropriate in some situations, but not this one. He was very tired. I had not seen him in a few weeks when my sister dropped him off that morning so he was also overly excited to see me. We also got stuck at the shops longer than we bargained for. And I think all that contributed to tiring him out. I really don't know how single parents do it. My sister and BIL are wonderful parents, and this is the first time he has done anything like this in public. He also has an amazing older brother. When his brother was around the same age, we were at the shops when another kid was throwing a tantrum (sorry I don't know if breasts were involved) and he wanted to give the other little boy some of his raisins to try an cheer him up. How amazing is that!

That man was just brave enough to say what every guy in the store was thinking.

Almost matching the courage it takes to publicly show your allegiance to the Jets
