20. At neighbour’s house, Temperley, Buenos Aires, 1960

Little girl (7):  Wachoo doin’?

Heavily pregnant neighbour doing the laundry (25):  I’m busy right now.  Why don’t you go and play outside?

Little girl:  OK.  Can I borrow the football you keep under your apron?

(Sadly, the former child does not remember the expression on the neighbour’s face, or what she replied...)
