What is this, the Czech Republic?
I had a student cheat on a quiz by copying from her neighbor. I know this because it also happened to be the most ridiculous wrong answer to the question..."the finale of movement 2" of Beethoven's 9th. She bombed the quiz anyway (i.e., in addition to this). To her credit, she didn't copy everything her neighbor wrote...probably because she couldn' ( Read more... ) -
On baby dolls and (snow-white) beauty
The doctor called to say that Bubla does not have a liver tumor. You know, in a few months, all of his health problems could be more or less resolved. But what would I do with myself? And how can Bubla live without the seemingly constant attention of people in white coats? THOSE are the burning questions ( Read more... ) -

I couldn't quite figure out what didn't sit well with me about the format and/or content. It's not like I'm ( Read more... ) -
Couldn't resist
So, since about June, when we tell Bubla to eat "one, two, three" more spoonfuls (or "jedna, dva, tři," with tři sounding very similar to the English), he sometimes holds up TWO fingers on the FIRST of these three bites while exclaiming "teeeee" ("tyyy!"). Oh, the power of wishful thinking. Well, today, toward the end of his cereal bowl, he held up ( Read more... ) -
Dunkin' Toddlers
What do you call an Orthodox baptism in which the ratio of Jews to non-Jews in attendance is 9 (10 by the time of the party) to 5? A bar mikvah? ( Read more... ) -
