She reminds me every saturday of the difficulty she had during her Bat Mitzva (sp? I can't remember exactly the name difference for the adapted ceremony for girls) because the Torah reading had no vowels. Of course it may also be a function of her eyesight: really nice girl, but she's blinder than a bat; or after all it may be my hearing, as she often reminds me that I'm a nice guy, but deaf as a post...
I guess we make a good combination...
