Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth，then closed it. Should I tell her

　　that, in teasing a woman's weight, she's joined the long, proud tradition of critics who go after any

　　woman with whom they disagree by starting with "you're ugly" and ending with“no man would

　　want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does"？Should I tell her I didn't

　　cry when someone posted my picture and commented,“I'm sorry, but aren't authors who write

　　books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”

　　Does she need to know, now, that life isn't fair? I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer

　　I don't have. Words are my tools．Stories are my job．It's possible she'll remember what I say

　　forever, and I have no idea what to say.

　　So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true．I say to my daughter,

　　“I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you，But I'm disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone．What she looks like isn't one of them.”

　　Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks．“I won't say that again,”she tells me，and I pull her close,

　　pressing my nose against her hair. We are both quiet, and I don't know if I have said the right
