This is a beautiful post about your mom!<BR/><BR/>In my case I write a lot about my mom and just started writing a little bit about my dad. It's not so much that I don't want to write about him - it's just that mom is easier to write about being whacky.Ms. Qhttp://qmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-39445213211457882222008-12-12T00:38:00.000-05:002008-12-12T00:38:00.000-05:00Ophelia, thank you (for reading and for the face).People in the Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06961234839608654790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-26803635876973734972008-12-06T18:11:00.000-05:002008-12-06T18:11:00.000-05:00what a beautiful woman.<BR/>great post :o)Ophelia Mournehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18180974781913740585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-57536820103917323592008-12-03T14:08:00.000-05:002008-12-03T14:08:00.000-05:00Xbox, and of course it's suitable for this post, because my mom suggested the name.<BR/><BR/>Ali, I understand.

And welcome.<BR/><BR/>Xbox, you know it wasn't easy for me, but the only reason I did that was to be able to take eternal credit when it happens (and naming rights).<BR/><BR/>Girl, good luck. Cringes among people who know each other well could actually be healthy, no?<BR/><BR/>Mom, guess who doesn't have an anonymous blog anymore? And commenting here doesn't interfere with anything. You're welcome to comment whenever you want.<BR/><BR/>1. I think it's sometimes too easy to remember only the bad things. It takes a little more effort to remember childhood was actually a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>2. You also taught me French history, by saying that if we don't behave you'll start acting like <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror" REL="nofollow">Robespierre</A>.<BR/><BR/>3. Look at that, here's my name again.<BR/><BR/>4. You might be right there.<BR/><BR/>5. What's an Oren?<BR/><BR/>Freeman, I understand what you mean. It could be the same with me.<BR/><BR/>Ben, you thing they're waiting for you to give them the address? It is a relief, though. But things might be different with me. There are a few continents between my parents and me, so I don't get daily blog-related, "You disappoint me."<BR/><BR/>Preston, thanks. Like I wrote on your blog, I haven't done this meme, and I will do it eventually. My dad is a computer guy and my mom works from home on the computer all day. I should have known there was no way they wouldn't find out.

But<BR/>1. I am glad that he remembers good things about his childhood, because I think that everyone must have some good things to remember from the childhood, so that the present and all the difficulties we could encounter would be somehow reduced and vanish, for as long as we can be moved and we can laugh about certain moments in our past life.<BR/>2. I will take credit of the 2 courses :a. le soccer one<BR/> b. the English lessons (at the age of 4)<BR/><BR/><BR/>3. Oren has perhaps forgotten but I also teach him to be a good person, and I think that in spite of all I did succeed. <BR/><BR/>4. As for the little hand, I continue to believe it, it's a wonderful feeling, and perhaps nothing can compete with it.<BR/><BR/>5.

I can't say what she'll think about the post, but I'm sure she'll like your comment.<BR/><BR/>Bluestreak, you know, you don't have to tell her even if you write about her. But I am relieved that my parents know. I wanted to tell them before my last visit to Israel, but everything was so stressful and crazy that it just didn't happen. But I'm glad they found it.<BR/><BR/>Metalmom, it's cute that you have the same nickname as my mom. And of course I have a mom. Everyone has a mom. Apart from Osama bin Laden!<BR/><BR/>SJ, some things I remember, but others I was instructed to remember. She takes credit for teaching me the English alphabet when I was four. What do I know? I remember something vaguely. Some kind of workbook with giant letters maybe? But it doesn't matter, because if anyone asks, I just say, kind of like Frank Sinatra in <I>The Manchurian Candidate</I>, "My mom taught me English." Then I snap out of it.<BR/><BR/>Shelli, no no. I'm artistic! But yes, apparently some doctors thought I might be autistic. I can imagine it being a bit strange for a parent to see a kid spend his whole day with a phone book, though.<BR/><BR/>I'm proud to be your family-related ghost writer.<BR/><BR/>(and thanks.)<BR/><BR/>Woozie, what's 4:30am? So you're there for 3 hours? And I drink only instant coffee. And Lawdy Lawd, I'm vegetarian! But if you're seriously in the area for more than 3 hours, and not during ungodly hours, email me peopleinthesun@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>And that goes for everyone.<BR/><BR/>Ajooja, thanks. I knew I had to be careful not to make it a "My mom was the best mom ever" post just because she was reading it. I think my mom-post would have been the same if I didn't think she knew about it. At least I hope.<BR/><BR/>Aimee, I'll take that as a compliment.<BR/><BR/>Xbox, I don't believe in god or God, but I prayed for you today.<BR/><BR/>Cooper, I suspected for a while. I read the blog when I was in Israel, and then I labeled the IP Address on Statcounter as "Parents' House." Then, when I came back here, I started seeing a lot of visits from that address. I did turn white for a second, I have to admit.<BR/><BR/>B, thanks. I hope she likes it.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, you realize my mom is the one on the right, yes?<BR/><BR/>Jeff, it's only fair. She did teach me to play soccer, after all.People in the Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06961234839608654790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-55531028797964281202008-11-21T22:25:00.000-05:002008-11-21T22:25:00.000-05:00Nice post.
