The milk surprises me. It does not disgust me as much as I thought it would, unless it is not fresh. It is disturbing that a piece of you should go off so quickly. I don't think Freud ever discussed lactation, but the distinction between 'good' and 'bad' bodily products here is very fine.
Women leak so much.
Perhaps this is why we clean - which is to say that a man who cleans is always 'anal', a woman who cleans is just a woman. There certainly is a lot of it, and it gets everywhere, and the laundry is a fright. But what fun to be granted a new bodily function so late in life. As if you woke up one morning and could play the piano. From day to day the child is heavier in your arms, she plumps up from wrist to ankle, she has dimples where her knuckles were, she has fat on her toes.
