Winner!

I feel like I won the mommy lottery the other day when my 5.5-but-may-as-well-be-15-year-old daughter told me two things.

1. I was taking a nap and my husband was in the bathroom and she needed something so she later told me that she decided to ask him and not me b/c I was sleeping and he was already awake and that just made more sense.

2. She asked me if she was allergic to candy. I said "Yes!!!! Yes you are!" so she responded that she better tell her camp friend not to give her any candy.

Winner! (Although I probably shouldn't brag b/c I just know something will happen soon to negate all that)

Costco ATM

 Yesterday's gem from Hillelly, talking about his flip flops:

Hillelly: No! They're mine!
Me: Did you pay for them?
Hillelly: Yes I paid for them!
Me: You did?? Where did you get money from?
Hillelly: Costco!
I knew you could get Anything at Costco, but I had no idea they were giving out money. We gotta get on that, Mo Berow!

Sticker Reward - 2019 - picture

 When you give your daughter a sticker for sleeping in her bed, and then you realize you also do it and deserve a sticker too!

Spike - 2020 picture

Hillelly got a new toy, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog.  Hodayah decided it's hers.  
My first thought while playing:. "The quills are the same colors as the ice pops from camp Ma Tov!"
Moshe's first thought:. "It looks like a virus."

King Pharoah

Follow up to a previous post about Pharoah being at a carnival that was part of the Israel Day Parade on Rt 20 in NJ,
Yesterday, while driving home, I spotted, on Rt 4, a very similar looking carnival, and lo, there was a ride - it looked like the boat that swings back and forth and eventually flips over - and it had Pharoah's face on both ends of the boat and it was called "Pharoah's Fury"!  What the wocka?!?!  When I pointed it out to Hodayah this morning, she said she was right.  Pharoah really was there.  Crazy!

Israel Day Parade Marshall

Yesterday, we passed what looked like a pop-up carnival with rides and lights and stuff on Route 20 in NJ. The conversation in the car went like this:

Hodayah: Is that from the Israel Day Parade?
Me: No it's not.
Hodayah, very certain: Yes it is!
Me: I don't think so.
Hodayah: It is. I saw Pharoah there. It is.
Me: Pharoah?! He definitely was not in the Israel Day Parade.
Hodayah: I saw him there. He was a very bad person.
Me: He sure was!
To be fair, Pharoah technically was involved in the Israelites parading out of Egypt. But that's not this.
