Jessica Powers-The world Nenny is in is "la la land."
The world that nenny is in is childish. Nenny is still strong in her imagination and is still a little kid at heart. She and espiranza are in seperate worlds and the difference is maturaty.

In the chapter they say that hips are good for carrying babies. Mothers put the baby propped up on their hips and carry them there.
