MOMS

Definitions given by elementary school age children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

  1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
  2. Mostly to clean the house.
  3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

  1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
  2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
  3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?

  1. God makes mothers! out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
  2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

  1. We're related.
  2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?

  1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
  2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
  3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

  1. His last name.
  2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
  3. Does he make at least 0 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?

  1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot.
  2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
  3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?

  1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof-ball.
  2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
  3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms and dads?

  1. Moms work at work & work at home, & dads just go to work at work.
  2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
  3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
  4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?

  1. Mothers don't do spare time.
  2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

  1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
  2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

  1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
  2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
  3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on her back.

hahahah Elsje i am Ima And we have a pregnant year this year , so our Easter is way off , we are only in PURIM [ masqs wearing like Carneval ] . Pregnant year , is a year when we add a month [ 13th month] to our Lunar year , so that it is more similar to the general Solar year. The special has no special , name it simply called Addar Beth [ Beth being our second letter after Aleph] while the Original Addar will be called on pregnant years Addar Aleph. Hebrew and General Dates meet every 19 years. mirjam

It's like a leap year, only a leap year adds just one day every four years (or, a few years ago, a "leap second" was added for two years in a row). I think the official name for it is an "intercalary" month.

Norma,

It's a confusing subject. You know how we add a day every four years to make the calendar line up with how the Earth is actually moving around the Sun? Cultures that use a lunar calendar (which have shorter months) end up with their calendar way out of sync with the standard Western calendar, but instead of adding a day every four years, they wait, as Mirjam said, 19 years, then add a month. It makes things kinda way off for a while (for instance, Passover isn't until April this year, IIRC).

It's explained better here:

What is it that confused you Norma? The Hebrew calendar was based on the moon , since it has a cycle that one can acctualy follow , it `grows` and `dwindlesw , in a manner that a human eye and mind can see and understand! , later as they understood that the earth lives by the solar time , they made calculations [ and none of them had calculators!!!] and wotrked out that if they add 1 month every 3-4 years eventualy every 19 years it will be leveled ,,,,just like the 29th of Februray added in leap years

This is the reason that the Muslim calendar , which only based on the Lunar year , without adjusting it to the Solar time, keeps `mooving` the holidays. mirjam

NO Spampot , it is you who now confused the matter ... as i explained in another letter here WE DON`T wait 19 years ,, we add a month every

3-4 years which eventually will bring the same Hebrew date and General date to EXACTLY correlate every 19th year ,,,, the differences are big enough that Passover and Pascha /Easter dates , move away from each other 6 -7 days each year !!! mirjam
