I'm asking because all the other daughter in laws are a pitzy size AA and share tops all the time and I don't want her to feel left out.

On vacation will she wear flip flops on the sand or stick to wearing tights/hosiery?


I'm asking because if she's OK with wearing flip flops, she probably doesn't have toenail fungus. Our son has fungus and I wouldn't want him to give it to anyone else

Does she prefer soft boiled or hard boiled eggs?

I'm asking because my son very much wants a large family - minimum 20 children, we have to know beforehand if she'll agree.

Does she tidy and clean her seat and surroundings on an aeroplane before deplaning?

I'm asking because my ds is accustomed to 5 course meals every night and each course must be set with its own unique tablescape. It's important that she sets quickly because he needs to rush out to his night chevrusa and can't be held up.

How quickly can she sew costumes?

I'm asking because I can outfit a family if twelve in matching hand made Purim costumes, and I never start sewing until after we hear the megillah at night. Then I say the entire Sefer tehillim by heart as I'm sewing, so it's important that she can carry on the tradition.

Does she know how to schect? Chickens or also larger animals?

I am only asking because my son wants to teach Torah in middle of no-were,since he faints at the sight of blood she will need to know how to schect so they can have kosher meet.

Does he keep a pen in his pocket?

I'm asking b/c in my family no teenage girl or married woman goes in public places with her legs uncovered. (Actually, this is true, but I never thought of asking it when in shidduchim with my children. Don't worry, it's not something I'd ask for my still unmarrieds. Smile )

Very important - Does she like to ride a camel?

If she did, it would show her chashivus for following tradition, so yes, it is truly important.

Does her family act out the story of Yetzias Mitzrayim at their Pesach seder, complete with Pharoah in pajamas?

My apologies, I didn't notice there was a page 7 when I answered the Q above, and thus I inadvertently answered the last Q on p. 6., causing Effess' Q to be unanswered - see Effess Q a few posts back, one before my answer. Sorry, Effess.

After that is happytobemom's Q.

I'm asking because we have a minhag to cover the whole inside of our house with flowers, literally. Even the kitchen counters and sinks, and the walls of our home.

Does his mother and sisters wear high heels all day, also at home?

I'm asking because we try to shteig every day
and the females in our family wear heels as a phsical reminder.
If they do too it's a sign of a fitting shidduch.

Does he eat cucumbers with the peel or without?

I'm asking because we have a secret family recipe for cucumber salad, that uses only the peel. By joining our family she would have to continue this mesorah and save peels for this salad.

Does she live 'in town'?

We're afraid that if she's from a village, our son will be dubbed the village idiot. But if she's from a town it's okay.

Do their family make up their own rules for monopoly?

I'm asking because you can analyze a person's entire personality based on their Monopoly rules.

Does she crack her knuckles?

I'm asking, b/c our great-great-great-great grandmother's father said that it's a sign that a person cracks jokes. We're a very serious family - jokes are not allowed ever! chas v'Shalom!

Does she like the color grey?

Asking because a girl liking the color grey is a red-flag to us. It means that she isn't good at making friends her age so she hangs out with old grey-haired ladies.

Does she often have hangnails on her hands?
