Maya is ultimately very tiny
Even
though she can already say lots of words that we understand, and talks
constantly in a secret Maya language that only Lola understands; even
though she’s pretty grown up and can feed herself yogurt and peel her
own bananas; even though she can *almost* put on her pink sport
sandals by herself; even though she understands just about everything
we’re saying, even when she’s not doing what she’s told…she’s still,
ultimately, very tiny.
