You don’t know
nothing.
Milk jug in
your face
and you cry
for milk.
What?
Today, we went
to Wales,
another
country, and you didn’t even know.
What is this?
What is it?
No words to
know.
How to think?
You can’t even
see a foot away!
So what are
you looking at?
I say Benji:
you don’t know nothing.

The siol fagu, is a traditional Welsh flannel nursing shawl. It is doubled as a triangle and placed over both shoulders; the baby is then lifted into place on the left shoulder, and the corner of the shawl on the left is wrapped around the baby. Then the corner on the right is dropped under the arm and wrapped around the baby, leaving the right arm fully free. The baby is held high up, in front, and the mother's left arm is also useful for doing work but helps support the baby.
