Hannukah

Last night's conversation:

Josiah: "Mom...who celebrates Hannukah?"
Me: "Jewish People"
Josiah: "Why can't we celebrate Hannukah?"
Me: "We aren't Jewish"
Josiah: "Well my choir teacher said that lots of Mexicans and Africans are Jewish..."
Me: "What is your choir teacher's name because she is full of shit..."
Josiah: "Well let me ask my dad"...(he calls dad)..."Dad...are Mexicans Jewish?"
Norb: "Mexicans are Catholic"
Josiah: (hangs up with dad) "Mom...can't we light some candles anyways?"
Me: "I light that good smelling cinnamon one every night"
Josiah: "No...I meant some tall skinny ones like Jewish people...."

WTF!!!! I will be calling the choir teacher later today after I have had my coffee.....

I am SO cracking up, because when Alyssa was in first grade, she came home upset that her teacher didn't believe her. When I asked her what her teacher didn't believe, she said. "That we're Jewish.".....
"Alyssa, that's because we're not Jewish."
"Yes, we are."
"No, we aren't."
"Mom, where are you from?"
".... Jewett."

Hi. as a former marathoner, I like your blog. BTW, there is a sizeable and vibrant Jewish community in Mexico. They're mainly in Mexico City. There's more of us than you think :)
