On the one hand, the narrative is about a couple’s breakup and their fight over the baby. You get the feeling that this couple has been fighting for a long time and that there's no hope for them. The man cannot stay in the house any more. Even though the woman is fed up with it, you can tell from her tears she is very upset that he is finally leaving. Of course, right before he leaves, the man fights with the woman over who gets take the child. They end up hurting their child from all the pulling. The baby is actually torn in half in the end.
But on the other hand, the author is really talking about how we can become so self-absorbed, only thinking about what we want, not thinking about how our choices will affect others. Sometimes we don’t realize how much the “little things” in life mean to us. The couple’s baby was their one “little thing”, but also their main reason for the final dispute.
