I don’t have to tell you :
When I was a child, maybe six or seven, I was obsessed with making “webs.” I made these webs by taking my mom’s yarn, usually a small spool, and stringing it through every loop in the kitchen

Mamas across space and time named themselves Mama because that’s one of a babie’s first babbles — and that’s what I find so significant about this. Across the world and across our history our babies
