Rascal House!!! On a Florida vacay when we were kids (I'm one of those "gotta tell a story" people too!) an older lady looked over at our table and said to my brother Mike in a very New York accent SONNY! EAT YOUR CAKE! Which became a regular line in our house forever after: Sonny, eat your cake! I even used it when serving dessert to my mom, shortly before she died. Loved this column of yours, Annie! Shabbat Shalom. xx
I love that the Rascal House lives on and on in stories. My grandma used to put the rolls from the bread basket in her purse for later. She took them out, covered in hairnets! 😂
I have found myself saying the Shema every night in bed before I go to sleep. It wasn’t a conscious decision. It just started to happen. It makes me think of mom too. This is a beautiful post. 🙏🏻

Beautiful .Anne-Anna. Meaningful moments don’t announce themselves. They just happen when we are paying attention.
Excellent essay. Very well written and poignant. Keep writing!
