You Know You're in a Scary Profession When...

...It's 10:30 at night and a mid-level associate asks you if you're planning to stay late.

(Caveat: I'm not complaining. I found this exchange sadly amusing, but I like the work, the firm, and the people I work with, and I thank G-d that I am blessed to have a job.)

My Son Explains Why the Sun is Not Visible When It Rains

Conversation this morning between my seven year old daughter and four year old son:

Seven: Why is it sunny outside if it's so cold?

Four: Because it's the morning.

Seven: But then is it sunny on rainy mornings?

Four: No, Hashem doesn't put out the sun when it's raining because He doesn't want it to get wet!
