The other day my husband was again on the phone with one of our grandchilden in Israel.
"Today is a fast day," said our granddaughter. "Did you fast today, Poppy?"
"No, I didn't." my husband said.
"That's okay. Old people don't have to fast."
My husband went on to change the subject. He didn't have the heart to explain that he and I only fast on Yom Kippur. This has nothing to do with our age, but everything to do with our level of religious observance.

I look forward to hearing the kids' comments as they mature.
