This story happened in 2001. My daughter Lia was 11, and his brother, Akbar, was 8. One noon, we were having lunch.
Lia : Bar, what will you do if you meet the girl you like so much?
Akbar: Nothing…
Lia : Nothing?
Akbar: Yeaa nothing, maybe look at her, that’s all
Lia : My god, look at her? I just can’t do that. Every time I meet the boy
I like so much, I can’t face him…
Akbar: Why not?
Lia : I just can’t.
Akbar: Does he make you scare?
Lia : No, not like that
Akbar: So why? If you can’t, so don’t face him
Lia : I want to face him but….
Akbar: I don’t understand you, mommy do you understand her?
Mommy:…(speechless, but smiled….)….
