TWELVE and NOT STUPID

This is my opinion on the story "Twelve and not stupid". At the beginning of this story, I felt that Papa and Auntie May have an affair because when Papa invite Sasha from school, Auntie May along with Papa in the car. After that, Papa told Sasha for cheating her Mama by says she returned late from school because of a school activity. Papa also told Sasha not to tell Mama about Auntie May. This is my first view about Papa. Papa teach his daughter to be lie at her mother. 

This family is a very social family. Papa and Mama busy with work out. Besides, they are also busy with their friends outside. Sasha is a small girl who was 12 years old, she was a smart and quiet girl. Though Sasha was 12 years old, but she understands what is happening in her family. She never cheated with her mother, but she was puzzled why Papa told her to lie to her mother. 

At the end of the story, I understood that Auntie May actually was second wife to Yem. Yem is Papa older brother. They married without the knowledge of the first wife of Yem. Auntie May have a son named Kassim who was 10 years old. Yem was suppose obligations towards his son Kassim and his second wife Auntie May. This family is so complicated. Should, as a husband, he should be responsible for the family that he built and not be hands-off. 

As a family, we should always be together in whatever situation. Solve every problem that happen together. No matter what happen always be together, love each other and do not keep a secret among the family. Be responsible with what we are doing and do not be hands-off.
