Quote #10

[…] I wanted to return to the waters of the womb with her so that we would never be alone again. I wanted. I wanted my Amá. (16)

Whoa. This is some serious family imagery happening right now. The narrator takes her baby-fied grandmother to the tub and wants to go back to the "waters of the womb" with her. She wants them to both become fetuses, to start over at the beginning of life together and "never be alone again." What underlies all this is the narrator's desire for her own mom. She has been thrown into adulthood, and right now she could really use some help.
