First Post of 5769

It's tough for a girl to grow up in this age of Queen Bees and Wannabes, so I sometimes worry about Hayden having enough self-esteem. Then there are times when I realize I don't need to worry. For example, Hayden asked me the other day, "Daddy, am I ten feet tall?"


We were spending Yom Kippur in New Jersey and the girls were running around in the temple's library. Hayden asked me to read her a book and I picked up a picture book that I thought she might enjoy called "Joseph And His Brothers."

Marley heard me ask Hayden about the book and she kept repeating what we thought was "I want to read Joseph Brothers! I want to read Joseph Brothers! I want to read Joseph Brothers!"

Only when we saw her turning the pages with frustration did we realize that she thought it was a book about the Jonas Brothers.

P.S. I don't think they're Jewish.


We were at the kids' service at the temple and Marley got a good look at the torah with its silver plate and silver handle-covers. She pointed at it and announced: "It's R2-D2!"
