Hello - I'm not sure that there is a special significance as such. 'Second' when referring to children just means 'second oldest' - and 'eight' and 'eighty' seem factual to me, but I stand to be corrected :-)
@@ClairesNotes I'd say the usage of the word second, seems like they are being counted to emphasize on the absurdity of the number of children she had or was expected to have. Once again, commenting on societal expectations of women.
What I learnt is that the word 'second' could imply that her children are her secondary priority, and that her passion for art comes before them. Hope that helps :)
