Chana (7), Rivka (5), and I were walking home from synagogue, when Rivka bent down to pick up a lollipop stick she had dropped.
Chana: What's that?
Rivka: My lolli stick.
Chana: Oh, I thought it was a cigarette.
Rivka: What's a cigarette.
Chana: It's something that you should never, ever, use. It can kill you. But it makes you look cool.
Me: WHAT!!!!????
Chana: It does, Daddy.
Me: How does it make you look cool?
Chana: It just does.
Me: What do you know about cool, anyway?
Chana: A whole lot more than you.
(My guess is that at some anti-smoking assembly at school, someone said that smoking might make you look cool, but it's dangerous. In any case, we straightened it out and agreed that it is not cool.)
Bli neder, you have got your hands full with this one! ;)
ReplyDeleteSo it can kill you. As long as you look cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat lesson they're teaching.
For some reason this looney tunes line comes to mind:
"Consequences shmonsequences, as long as I'm rich."
I tried to leave a comment on your other blog, didn't work. Maybe that's why you don't get many comments.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy what you blog about.
This set-up is different so I hope it will work!
