    I don't think there's a "supposed to" with the bee... :) We used to sing, "with a band-aid on his knee." :)

    No, no... the rest of our verses were just plain dumb, with real words that rhymed. His was simply a brilliant nonsense verse - that also brilliantly rhymed. I just forget what it was - darn!!!
    You also have to understand how noisy and obnoxious my entire family is to know how extraordinary it would be that a 3-year-old would contribute at ALL!!!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple.
