I'm glad it's all so obvious to you, but in fact I was thinking of all
those past posts on this group that had human infants grabbing for hair,
tits, whatever, when they were in their aquatic phase. We still are
talking about infants hanging on (holding on) to their mother's breasts,
are we not? How does a lowered nipple equate with a n infant hanging on to
the breast?
