“We were ending our visit to our children in Yerushalayim. My husband was telling my 10-year-old grandson that thinking about leaving makes him so sad because he will miss his smiley face so much. My grandson replied: ‘So don’t think about it, Zayda!’ A great sage piece of advice that can be applied to many situations.” (Honey Senter)
“I need a hot dog in the hot dog bread, but please put the ketchup in first, or else the hot dog will not stick, Mommy.” (Elizabeth Kratz)
Said one three-year-old twin to the other, after singing happy birthday. “How old are you now?” “Twenty-three,” the other replied. (anonymous)

And now, a special dispatch from the now six-year old known as the legendary Batya
Submitted by her mom, L’via Weisinger
Batya’s word of the day: ‘Snowler’—for a snowblower—because to her “it looks like a guy pushing a stroller that gets rid of the snow.”
After I was away for two days and my husband held down the fort, Batya informed me excitedly, “You know, Tati made soup without supervision and it was actually good!’”
Watching the Grammys with Batya, and the women are singing the Aretha medley. Batya turns to me and asks: “Mommy, why are they whining so much?’”
A week after being home from her tonsillectomy, cabin fever has set in. Batya got herself dressed, got her pocketbook and informed me “We’re going to the mall, get dressed Mommy—I got the money in my bag.” She was three.
“Mommy, my frofe is gone!” “Your frofe?” “Yes, my frofe feels better—I can drink now.” B”H!!! (She was 3.)
Batya is pretending to do homework, Tali is actually doing homework. Tali keeps asking me questions. Batya says, “Tali, you’re talking too much! I can’t take it! I need quiet!’”
I packed lunch for Batya and then she reminded me that it’s pizza day so she doesn’t need it. “Batya, you are so smart!” I said. “I know, Mommy. It’s good that you have me.”
“Mommy, I want potato kugel, broccoli kugel, chicken and buttersoft shnot, please.” (butternut squash, we hope).
