While my sister was in the hospital having her baby, I stayed home with her 7-year-old daughter. That night, when it was time for a bath, my niece suddenly went quiet and would not take off her clothes. I gently told her it was okay and said we could bathe together so she would not feel scared. Then she looked at me with shaking eyes and whispered, Auntie… you are not going to hit me, are you? The second I saw her back, my whole body went cold.
