Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker enjoys pretending to be in a maternal role. However, the speaker acknowledges the reality that they are actually a 17-year-old who has recently graduated. It implies a sense of amusement and perhaps a hint of escapism in the act of playing a different role. The quote may also express a longing for the responsibilities and maturity associated with being a parent, despite the speaker's current youth and lack of experience.

Which acts made you more of a mother?Both, I realized. Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.
