Great circumcision post. My husband’s culture does not routinely circumcise babies; they let the men decide for themselves when they reach adulthood (and my husband decided to be circ’ed when he was 18. In a hospital. With anesthesia).

We decided not to circumcise our son – I think it is inhumane and my husband thinks it should be our son’s choice. That is the most logical defense, IMHO.

My husband is a medical student. We live in the midwest. He did a month-long pediatric rotation this summer and observed several circumcisions on newborn boys. All were performed WITHOUT anesthesia. It made him sick. It made me sick hearing about it. This, my friends, is inhumanity.

So whether or not parents choose to circumcise their sons is a personal decision – although I think it should still be the choice of the penis owner himself – but for god’s sake, if you circumcise, PLEASE make sure the doc uses anesthesia.

So, here’s an interesting tidbit for you:

Lemon (from the sorbet) = citrus fruit

“Pomplamoose” is how an anglophone would pronounce “pamplemousse”, which is French for grapefruit = citrus fruit.

Turns out, you weren’t that far off.

Also, am I the only one who thinks she TOTALLY looks like Princess Leia/Carrie Fisher?

Okay. I HATE that Beyonce song & run from the room whenever I hear it. BUT I really enjoyed Pomplamooses version. I listened to the entire song & smiled!! Thanks for the sorbet.

Delicious and entertaining sorbet. And good job adding another controversial issue to the mix. You sure know how to keep everyone entertained.

What circumcision decision would that be?

You’re sooooo totally cool, but you blew it on the circumcision decision. Let us all know when he has his first infection, hey? Sheesh.

I actually like that Beyonce song. But this version is also cool. I’ll have to look at their other stuff. My musical tastes are WIDELY varied.

Awesome cover of that song (which I’ll admit to LOVING, oops I did that publicly didn’t I?), but I’m not gonna lie – hippie wide-eyed indie girl is kind of disturbing. Does she blink?
