Rock Out With Your Latke Out
As I drove Elijah to school yesterday, he said,
"Daddy, is tomorrow Thanksgiving?"
"No," I said.
"But it's Friday!"
"Thanksgiving is on Thursday. And it's in November."
"I thought we were getting presents tomorrow."
"We are. Because it's Chanukah."
"Oh," he said, but because he said it while laughing, it kind of sounded like "oh ho ho." And then he added, "I knew that."
A brief pause.
"How many presents do I get a night?" he asked.
"One," I said.
"Or sometimes two," he said, trying out his negotiation skills.
"Perhaps."
Anyway, I have a Chanukah piece up right now at Jewcy. It's about last weekend's awesome "Festival Of Lights" at Elijah's school. You can read the piece by clicking here.
Chappy Chanukah, everyone!

Happy Chanukah, baby.

I check your blog every day to see what wackiness Elijah's up to. Love it; makes me chuckle. Today's title made me think of a really dorky song, "Rock Out With Your Hawk Out" by MC Hawking:
