For last night's bedtime stories, Zane requested his Hannukkah counting book which has words in English, Hebrew and Yiddish. I usually just read the Yiddish words because they're the most fun. He really likes the page about Dreidels and has memorized the letters that are represented on each of the sides. For variety, I decided to read the Hebrew letters last night. I started with 'nun' and he immediately wanted to know what 'nun' means. How to explain that it's a letter in the Hebrew alphabet? Would he then want me to sing the Hebrew alphabet (can't)? I gave my standard "I don't know" with the clear 'let's move on' intonation while flipping the page and Zane retorted "You can look that up on the computer!"
So now I have to resort to "Go ask daddy."
(I thought it was so funny that I left his room to write down his quote. When I came back in to finish the story, he asked me if I had looked it up. I told him "no" and to remind me to look it up in the morning. He hasn't yet)

Yeah, I'm gonna remind him to have you sing the Hebrew alphabet -- when I'm around. I want to hear that.
Quickly...he needs a Catholic school field trip - show him a "sister" nun
