It's Pesach time! in other words, mop 'till you drop! Not only do I have all these write tons of Divrea Torah on the Hagada for school, but I also have to listen to the Seder Paraders. It's an old record my mom has about these kids who dance around and sing songs about Pesach. It's not that bad, but the songs definitely need some work.
As the years go on, Pesach cleaning seems to be getting less fun. It's like, the first years we mop and sing and scrub and play, all at the same time, but now it's "Put that here, take that downstairs" this and that, it's not as fun. Not that cleaning was supposed to be fun anyway. On the Seder Paraders, there's a song called Mrs. Balabusta. Mrs. B sings about how hard cleaning is and how she has to buy new dishes for Pesach, clean and scrub, and all that. This is how the blogger, Mrs. Balabusta, chose her blogger name.
As for the seder, all I can say is I hope we have a seder that only lasts 'till 11:00 p.m. Some of my classmates seder's have been known to go on 'till the a.ms. All through out the seder, PT is running around everywhere, but by the time we get to Shulchan Orache, she has dropped to the floor, asleep.

Histories Mysteries: Do Jews have horns?
We were in Parshah class and my teacher was trying to explain something. She says
"I know this is hard to understand, but some
people, who don't know anything about Jews,
say that we have horns."
Everyone in my class just burst out laughing. Horns? HORNS?! My teacher went on about how to them it makes perfect sense, that Jews have horns, but to us it's utterly ridiculous. My friends started making jokes about it, saying like
"Yes! I DO have horns! They're growing in right here!"
"I'll ask my brother about his horns when I go home"
"one time, this guy came to my brother and said 'lift up your hat I want to see your horns'. He burst out laughing!"
My teacher kept trying to explain why people thought we had horns, but people were rolling on the floor laughing! Someone actually got sent out of class because they just couldn't take it anymore. The reason people thought we had horns, is because the second time Moshe came down from Har Sinia, his face was shining with the Shicheena, so some of the light made it look like he had horns. Later after Moshe's death, a sculpture was made of him with horns. So people concluded that Jew's have horns, and cover them with our yamachas. But still you have to admit, imagine living in a world where everyone has horns!
