Ghost of a flea

At some point, like most teenagers, these second and third generation Canadians take an interest in their family history. Sometimes Mom and Dad are happy to share stories, anecdotes, and their own thoughts with the kids. However there are also times when Mom and Dad are trying to forget the lives they left in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, etc. This does not stop a kid from wanting to know. Where does the child turn? The Internet, the library, the Masjid - wherever they can find someone willing to give them information, someone who can give them a sense of belonging and heritage. Most adults have a hard time figuring out propaganda from fact, myth from reality; teenagers will often go with whatever information stirs up their emotions.
