My mobile rang. It was my daughter's friend asking for her. They are both five. My daughter takes the mobile to the next room and paces as she talks to her friend. A certain word catches our attention so our friends and us in the living room all start eavesdropping. Her friend says something about wanting to get married to a certain boy in their class -KG 2,they are- when she grows up. My daughter says it's a bad idea! She argues, "But Amer is your mom's cousin and if you marry a close relative you will have sick kids!"
Silence in the living room!
