My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us... he just had his own way of showing it.

    When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most "Seasonals" visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.

    We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time.

    So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common... they'd all received The Evil Eye.

    The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains.

    "You will not put your hands on my daughter... You will not kiss my daughter... You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear."

    I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, "See ya later."

Although the man who sat with me in the old wooden stairs thirty-five years ago was not a tall man. But to me, a five-year-old child, he was a giant. We would sit side by side, watching the sun go down behind the station across the busy street behind which I was never　 1　 to cross 　　2　 accompanied by an adult.

　 One day we sat 　 3　 the traffic ,counting cars and trying to guess the color of the next one to turn the corner to kill time.

Suddenly Grandpa asked “　 4　 ?"

　 " Yes," was my reply." How would you like to run over to the gas station there and get 　 5　 a bottle of Coke?"

　 I couldn't believe my 　 6　 . Was he talking to me? On my family's modest income, Coke was not a part of our diet. Without resisting the temptation I replied 　 7　 ," Okay," wondering how I would get across the street. I thought Grandpa was going to go with me.　 8　 ,after he gave me a dime, he said to me, " Okay, help me down the stairs and to the curb. I'm going to stay 　 9　　 and keep an ear out for the babies, who are still asleep. I'll tell you when it's safe to cross. You go over to the Coke machine get your Coke and walk back and then 　 10　 me to tell you when it's safe to cross back."

　 I was very nervous when Grandpa 　 11　 my hand tightly. Together we looked up the street and 　 12　 , and back up again. He told me it was safe to cross. He 　 13　 my hand and I ran.

Reaching the other side, I　 16　 to find Grandpa. still standing exactly where I had left him,　 17　 proudly. I waved.

Coke in hand, I proudly marched back out into the early evening dusk, seeing Grandpa was waiting 　 18　 .

　 " Stop right there," he yelled 　 19　 one car was speeding by me, after which Grandpa said" Come on, now," At last I crossed the street safely. He smiled on me, saying “You’ll do that alone from now on”. On hearing this, I 　 20　 felt so proud before.
