DIIIEEEEEEEE!!!

I can't believe I have been working at my gan (hebrew for kindergarten) for three months now. How time flies. I really got to love my kids like they are my own. You get to know their different personalities and even have favorites. I know, this is bad. Really bad. But I can't resist their cute little faces and English accents. They are so chamud!!!! Proof below.

I remember walking into the gan one of my first days and seeing a kid pulling his mothers shirt as she tried to drop him off in his class. She screamed DIE, DIE!! I thought to myself, "Wow, I knew Israeli's are aggressive but not as much as to tell their kids to die." As the days passed, still in shock I kept hearing mothers utter those words to their kids. In hebrew class the next week, the teacher explained the word DIE. I looked up from my notebook, immediately with the Gan image in my head. It all made sense now. Die is the hebrew word for stop! Because of the kids I will never forget the meaning of the word. Thanks yeladim  :)


Wishing everyone a healthy and happy New Year to come!!! 2011סוף
