When the revolution comes

"When will it come, Ma?"

"Soon. It's inevitable."

"Will I be seven years old?"

"Well, now. That revolution is going to take a little longer than that."

"Will I be 10?"

"No."

"Will I be 11?"

"No."

"Will I be 18?"

"Yes, Saïd. You'll be 18. When you're 18 the revolution will come."
