You think my oldest one, Sonya,
didn't cost me a lot of blood?
:37:01
A pail of black blood,
that's what she's sucked out of me.
:37:05
When she was little, she was
sick with every disease possible.
:37:09
Scarlet fever, and diphtheria,
:37:12
and measles, and whooping cough,
and mumps.
:37:17
I think it was only cholera
that she didn't come down with.
:37:21
One could go mad
from all this.
:37:24
But you don't have that right,
because you're the mother.
:37:29
Our regiment's medic
used to say
:37:33
that all sickness comes from your
belly.
:37:41
If you're a neat housewife,
the clothes will last long.
:37:46
This shirt here, first Misha
wore it, then Syoma and Lyova.
:37:54
Oh, those kids.
:37:56
They want to eat
every day.
:37:59
Hardly a week passes without them
having a rash or a boil.
