k, I've been reading so many "intersting" threads here today. so, who's not in the mood of cleaning for pesach, bathing the kids and putting them to sleep, folding and ironing laundry, clearing from supper....... Wink

I would say between green and humor it's a VERY close tie.

I'd come in right after, I guess (obviously, if I'm reading them all day)!! LOL

My grandparents spoke yiddish only when they didn't want my mom and my aunt to know what they were saying. Sad

But my DD is learning to count in yiddish and learning mah nishtana in yiddish at school! Cheers
