Oops, that's the wrong Pride chant.
Recently, my children have been showing off their very Jewish pride, by acknowledging everyone and anything Jewish (even those that aren't.) I wish I could say my husband and I were the sole reason for this, but we're not - it's their schooling and peers too. What has resulted from it, though, are some very adorable stories, that I have shared on Our Kids Speak, a blog dedicated to the goofy things our children say and do, and that us parents are silly enough to share with the world.
Here are a few of them.
Even Dinosaurs Kept Kosher

Even Dinosaurs Kept Kosher
Last night I was reading to my children, ages 4 and 7, a book on dinosaurs. When describing one dinosaur it said it was an herbivore. I asked my oldest if she new what that meant and she said no. So I asked her if she knew what a carnivore was.
"It's a meat-eater."
"Ok then, what do you think an herbivore is?"
"A milk-eater."
(This one below, is actually a comment to TorontoPearl's on OKS - "The Whole World's Jewish ")
Well, the other day at Home Depot, Noah, my 4 year old, starts yelling, "Look, look, a Jewish man, A Jewish Man."
We all looked around to see who he was talking about and sure enough we spotted the man.
"No sweetie, he's not Jewish, he's a Sihk."
"No mommy, he's Jewish. He's wearing a hat.
So the joke around our house is instead of
"the Man who mistook his wife for a hat."
We say "the son, who mistook a hat for a Jew."
*Hey what do you expect? It's 1:00 am in the morning!
