I dropped my daughter off at a sleepover and went home to finish some work.
Around 11pm, she texted me: "Dad, did you feed the fish?"
We don't have a fish. That was our code.
"Fish" means:
"Come get me, don't ask questions here."
I grabbed my keys and drove straight over.
When I got there, I told the other parents she'd forgotten she had an early appointment tomorrow morning.
She grabbed her bag, thanked them, and got in the car.
On the way home, she told me what actually happened.
The girls had started passing around someone's older brother's Instagram messages, planning to prank call a boy from their grade and record his reaction to post online.
She didn't want to be there when it happened, and didn't want to explain that to a room full of girls who thought it was funny.
I told her: "You don't owe anyone an explanation for leaving," and she fell asleep in the car before we even got home.
Kids should always have a way out of a situation that doesn't feel right, no interrogation required, no story owed to anyone but the parent picking them up.
“I hope I don’t get arrested .”
Then, in a university classroom, compulsory hijab still on her head, she starts singing about the Virgin Mary and Jesus.
In Iran, leaving Islam can carry the death penalty.
She filmed this knowing it could cost her life.
Iranian women are the bravest women in whole world , prove me wrong !
@geenstijl Heeft iemand aan Ahmed al-Sharaa al verteld dat de hand van Rob Jetten, die hij net heeft geschud... dat daar een uur van tevoren nog de stijve piemel van zijn vriend in heeft gezeten? Of zou hij zijn handen gewassen hebben?
