There are some things that we only share amongst a few understanding friends, like the following text messages saved on my phone:
1. “There are some things we never tell our children … Like about the stinkbug that just fell onto the hot griddle next to their blueberry pancakes” [28 January 2011]
2. “At elementary school sing-along and the dreidl song had a country western beat. Oy vey!” [22 December 2010]
3. “Calm winds here … Except the ones created by black bean soup.” [01 February 2011]
And some things that are too sweet to not share:
4. “______’s brother Johnny was just elected Homecoming King. Gotta love a school that elects a kid with Downs Syndrome.” [09 October 2010]
And then there are things that need to be shared:
5. I encourage you to go read Leah’s account of leaving Egypt over at The Goat’s Lunch Pail. (Leah is the cousin of The Bag Lady and Reb)
**Please note that I love Canada and my Canadian friends. It’s the lack of governmental response and obvious lack of concern for its citizens that we are criticizing. **
