p.s. I think the Yiddish word for smidgen may be "bissele".
When we took running son to NYC last month I had to explain the Hassids to him. He loved the long curls on some of them. He's very curious about people of other faiths, nationalities etc.
At one point we were walking through the city and he whispered to me "mom. there are A LOT of Jewish people here. Do we have any in Arizona, or do they all live here??"...
That's why I'm glad I have the opportunity to travel with him. I don't want to raise him in an insulated bubble like I was. When I moved to New York to be a nanny at age 19 I was shell shocked! Best thing for me, but MAN was it a step out of my comfy box.
