In the shower today, for some reason I thought about Thumbelina, a tiny girl from a fairytale. It occurred to me that this is sort of a miscarriage parable: there was a woman who wanted kids and couldn't have them. And then she got this little seed, and the girl who was born as a result was ever so tiny... So basically, in my warped mind, it goes like this: a miscarriage happened, and the baby was carried away by water, and the whole story is just a dream... that's why Thumbelina never returned to her mom.
