What I noticed is that children are the light of the world, they see everything is this pure light and they enjoy life and use the world as their playground. Their eyes light up when they think about or see something that excites them and they enjoy the simply things in life that us adults overlook on a daily basis.

supposed to smoke when you’re pregnant, but fuck it’’, it’s like she’s defending herself to the listener, in this case us. There’s used a modern language, the girl swears a lot and the text is very readable in general, no difficult words or anything. There are also many dialogs, because we meet a lot different people through the short story, who the girl talks with. The young woman in the short story is pregnant, but at first it’s not that big of a deal for her, because she’s going to get an abortion.
