Ah, waitress, there seems to be a woman over there who's enticing my husband to have sinful thoughts by exposing her breast. Please see to it that she stops. Oh yes, I would also appreciate it if you would wear less make up. Thank you, deary. Off you go now.
"Bethany Morton didn't breastfeed her first child, now 3, but she decided to with her second child.
She looked up the state statute on breastfeeding in public and learned that she could feed her child basically whenever and wherever she wanted, she said.
Her research came in handy Easter weekend when, at incidents in two cities, she was asked to cover up while breastfeeding. In the most serious case, police were called.
"They're within their rights to ask me, but I don't have to comply," she said.
Morton, 24, of St. Paul, said she was dining at an Old Country Buffet in Maplewood about 6 p.m. Sunday with her fiance and their two boys — Joseph Jr. and Dawson — when 6-month-old Dawson needed to be fed.
She said she tried to be discreet, pulling down one side of her low-cut blouse and shifting in her booth to face away from the rest of the restaurant. She tried using a blanket to cover her son's head for privacy, but he wiggled it off.
Soon, a server came by and told Morton to cover her son and breast with the blanket, Morton said. She said no.
The server retrieved a manager, who told her to cover up or leave. Morton refused.
"They can ask me, but I don't have to comply," she said.
The manager left. When he returned, he told the family to leave, Morton said."
