Leah has decided she's Jewish. I don't know where this is coming from. I don't know if she knows what it means but she talks about culture and that she feels Jewish.
I keep telling her that she's Christian. She says that dad and I are and she's not.
She gets mad when I tell her she's not Jewish and wants to know how I know. I said when she's older we'll test her dna. The very strange thing is that I think I'm part Jewish. My dad's grandparents are from Russia and his side of the family looks Jewish. All of my uncles looked like Walter Matthau (he was Jewish, right?) I've considered the mailorder dna test that everyone is doing (but it's kind of expensive.)
I know Leah is serious because I said if she's Jewish she can't celebrate Christmas and Santa won't come. Ever quick on her feet, she said "Santa will come for you guys so he'll leave something for me too."
And then she looked at me like I was meshugeneh.

I asked Leah how she knew she was Jewish and she said "I just know, besides I know how to do a dradle"
Oy Vey
Okay I forgot part of the story and it's "dreidel". Perhaps you should start your own blog if you're going to fact check mine, oh my beloved husband.
I think maybe she's heard about Hannukah and realized the benefits of EIGHT days worth of presents. Just wait till Easter comes around and see if she doesn't convert back....
It sounds like you're all Meshugeneh over there!!
Maybe you are all Messianic Jews!!!
