Tomorrow is the girls’ first field trip. We’re going to a matzoh factory. It’s a Lubovitcher (sp?) factory – I hope they don’t try to convert us.

We’ve been talking about the field trip a lot. When I asked them tonight if they remembered where we were going tomorrow, they said: "The circus?" "Detroit?" "Florida?" "Are we going on an airplane?" Finally, I said, "No, come on, you remember…" and A said, "The matzoh party???"

We also talked about states today, because I bought a game about the United States for them from National Geographic. We talked about Maryland (they needed to find a state that starts with M) and I told them that the matzoh factory is in Maryland, as is Trader Joe’s, Lily’s house and Miss Rema’s class. I told them that tomorrow, en route to the factory, I will tell them when we have crossed into Maryland. I don’t think they have any idea I was talking about.
