I had given birth to a baby girl. I was at my mother's house, dressed in a white half-slip and long-sleeved white silky shirt. A cat asked me if I would nurse her. I knew it was weird, but looked around, figured I could find a private place, and said yes. In my childhood bedroom, I had the cat on one breast and the little girl on the other. I called the little girl Lupita.
