Statement

In a dream my father calls me from another room "clean up this baby, she has her period". He sounds disgusted. I'm afraid she will have blood on her hand. To prepare myself for this I say it's okay for babies to touch themselves. As I walk into the room I see my father's back as he goes out another door. The baby holds her bloody hand to me, pleading with her eyes for me to wash her hand. I cry as I tell her I'm going to get a washcloth and I'll be right back. I wake up knowing what my father did to me.
