Pigs with Draw Write Now

In case I was expecting a nice farmyard illustration for today’s follow-up Draw Write Now lesson on pigs – well, nope. 

What I got instead is basically an anatomically-correct piggy variant of her perennial theme:  having a baby.  (see this earlier drawing, which is basically the same picture only with humans)

She no longer believes babies come from belly buttons, following a frank discussion a couple of weeks ago.  She only kind of suspected the belly-button region, which I think I read is psychologically known as “upward displacement” (?) – where it is too uncomfortable to imagine that the baby could come from anywhere lower, so the child suspects the higher, more innocuous opening.

When I say explicit, if you look very closely, you’ll see that everybody but the baby has the correct nudie-bits, even though Draw Write Now doesn’t provide them.  It’s a female doctor, of course, wearing a name-plate / saddle-thing that reads “Dr. Pig”.

Sigh… maybe next week, we’ll get a nice pastoral landscape out of this girl when we do sheep.  Or perhaps just a SHEEP labour-and-delivery scene.  You never know!

    The birth junkie in me wants to know why she drew the mommy pig lying on her back. I zealously think every girl and woman should know that the "dead cockroach position" (aka lithotomy) is NOT ideal for giving birth. Well, maybe it's ideal for Dr. Pig...

    rant over.

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. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
