Kids saying - and said... Part 3 (Ru)

Авидан, известный мастер русского языка (см. заметку ), недавно помогал маме на кухне - нечастое, но всё же случающееся явление.

Shavit - the young cook

The day has come - the day when one of my kids prepared and served the lunch for the whole family. There are quite a few days ago we were talking on the matter of Shavit getting some experience in kitchen business - not like his father, i.e. me. I really do want him - and Avidan - to be able to care to himself including preparing some food. A year or more ago we even bought a book by Ruth Sirkis "Kids cook" (Hebrew version can be found at the site ). Indeed, Shavit cooked by this lovely book.

Kids play piano

My kids got to do an English project at school for Passover holiday: choose one of the famous rock pieces, list the lyrics, translate to Hebrew, find info on musicians etc. Needless to say, they used all possible computer and Internet resources to get this stuff done - no intervention on my side. Funny thing - they both chose British, not American rock classics, no Beyonce or Eminem. Avidan picked "We are the champions" from Queen's repertoire. Shavit selected "Another brick in the wall" by Pink Floyd. Dad's influence? I must admit I love both groups and listen to their recordings pretty frequently.

If the Passover Story Were Reported by CNN

CNN covers the Passover The cycle of violence between the Jews and the Egyptians continues with no end in sight in Egypt. After eight previous plagues have destroyed the Egyptian infrastructure and disrupted the lives of ordinary Egyptian citizens, the Jews launched a new offensive this week in the form of the plague of darkness.
