This weekend, I hosted my parents visiting from overseas, as well as my brother and his family who live in another (more religious) neighborhood in Jerusalem, not within walking distance of our house. I had the following conversation with my seven year old niece, who went straight for the jugular, as children often do.
Niece: Raphaela is really lucky, if you get married, she can go to the wedding!
Me: Uh huh.
N: Are you even anywhere near finding a husband?
Me: Not yet.
N: You know you are the oldest of all your brothers and sisters, and the rest are all married.
Me: Uh huh. (Feeling the unintended knife twisting in my back.) So, who wants some more Thanksgiving turkey?
