It's that time of the year when we all need a good laugh.. so .. here goes.. I was ( as many of us do at this time of the year) testing a young man for his oral exam a few weeks ago... and I got a really good laugh.. Every few minutes, this sweet, happy smiling young man .. ( a 4 point student) would stop me and say.. Geveret.. Rak rega , Ani Hoshev .. So I would wait and he would finally manage to answer my questions.. until i guess it got to be too much.. and so finally he said.. Geveret, At midaberet Ivrit.. ?? AND of course I said .. YES.. and he said.."" Az lama Ani shover et hashinim banglit. !!!" I don't think I have laughed so hard in long time !! AND yes.. he passed the test !! (not with a high grade but.. he did manage to explain to me what a shiputznik was !!) AND just for ''desert''.. On a book report from a 9th grade student.. The book : Cinderella: Written by: . Folk Tale !!! Don't you love them !!! Well. back to agonizing over grades for the bagrut.. good luck all.
