In defense of my fellow people over here, they're not really "so rude". As in this situation, they're just honest. <BR/><BR/>Wait...are you Israeli?

I <I>usuallly</I> get your jokes, Benji! I just got really excited at the thought that it might actually be called Tuesday in stores or something, keeping with the often bizarre translations of movie titles into Hebrew. Like how Groundhog Day is actually called לקום אתמול בבוקר? Well, <I>now</I> I get it, and I feel dumb but <I>Yiyeh b'seder</I>...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm staying tuned too, so there.

The comment about the movie known as 'Tuesday' also made me laugh out loud. That's brilliant and hilarious!! The temperature in the Negev is 38.5 degrees today, so maybe I am under the same delirium as Mort.

It's not the end of the world. Just point to your head and say "Blondini" and/or "Americayi" and even the kids will get it. You will still be funny.<BR/><BR/>I could answer all your questions--because I was that kid once--but this is the place for comments, and I think your questions were rhetorical.<BR/><BR/>Just a suggestion: when you talk down to kids, they notice. There's a difference between the "I'm extra interested what you have to say" voice and the "Clearly, you are not able to comprehend my polysyllabic capabilities" voice. Fine line, but an important one.<BR/><BR/>(And your English is fantastic, so don't let the Hebrew get you down!)Ilananoreply@blogger.com
