من كام شهر كنت معزومة على عيد ميلاد بنت واحدة صاحبتي عندها 8 سنين. جبت ولادي، واشتريتلها هدية وروحنا الحفلة. كل حاجة كانت مثالية؛ لحد ما بنتي جاتلي وقالتلي إنها مش عارفة تندمج مع الولاد التانيين –علشان ببساطة مش عارفة تفهم هما بيقولوا إيه. تنحت شوية وسألتها ليه فكرت كدة. فقالتلي: أنا مش متأكدة…

A few months back, I was invited to a birthday of an eight-year-old girl –a friend’s daughter. I gathered my kids, bought a present and headed to the celebration.
