Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker likens their mother to a lawn sprinkler, flinging illegitimate children in every direction without order or care. The comparison is bitter and comic at once, turning parental irresponsibility into an indiscriminate spray that reaches the farthest corners of the world.
