Cheesecake For Breakfast
Ron taught me the importance of eating Cheesecake for breakfast. The most important meal of the day!Finding my family in Israel was like winning the lottery. I have some of the cutest cousins on this planet!
Shay is the oldest.
Uval is the sandwich child.
Neer is the newborn.
The oldest, Shay, seven years old, is a great older brother, and lets Uval win at games for his self-esteem (actually, he let's him win because his dad asks him to, and Uval cries if he doesn't win). Shay is filled with compassion and asked me where I learned English. I told him (in Hebrew) the same place he learned Hebrew. He laughed at the obviousness of the response and said that he wants to learn English so he can communicate better with me. I was so moved, and also so annoyed that I let the language, once fluent to me, slip so far from my brain. But I understand the important words. Like, "tickle me!!" "Do you want to play football?"
Knowing only that puts me in Shay and Uval's good graces.
There is a young girl from across the hall that plays with Shay all the time. She walked up to me and said (In Hebrew) "I am learning English in school."
"Oooooh,"
My little cousin - Neer
He is cute... so he must be related!
Just almost 2 months old. I respond, "What have you learned?"
(In English) "Be quiet."
It was so funny.
Moving up in the family tree, I spent a lot of time with Merav and Ron, the Mom and Dad to the cute kids. They are two cool parents, and are so laid back and fun. Merav can take one look at her kids and melt as she says how they are so delicious. No way is she completely biased, as I completely agree with her. She is a dedicated Mom and it is lovely to watch her with them; playing with them and helping with the homework. Ron taught me to importance of the Cheescake Diet: and now I understand the brilliance of eating cheesecake for breakfast. We both recommend it.
(More on this fun family soon...)
