It wouldn't have made me happy, but it would have been helpful if one of the stories in the paper yesterday morning had been "Nurses Threaten to Strike Tomorrow."
I checked just now when I got back from not getting my bloodwork done, and it turns out that Yediot Aharonot ran that story at 8:30pm yesterday, and it is today's headline.
Well, it seems that I should get back in the habit of typing "שביתת" [strike] into Google every so often and seeing what Google thinks I'm most likely looking for.

The Headlines I Want to See
When I checked Yediot Aharonot this morning, one of the featured articles was "A Small Cappuccino at Ben Gurion Airport? Very Small." The blurb under the headline demanded to know why a small cappuccino at a franchise branch in Ben Gurion Airport was noticeably smaller that a small cappuccino at other franchise branches.
No news is good news, all right.

Oh. My. Gosh.
We moved on Monday, so there's all of that typical craziness.
The topic of today's blog post, however, is that, to my endless shock and amazement, BSM's school just emailed us a list of books and supplies for the coming school year.
Today. July 10, 2019. School doesn't start for over another seven weeks!
It appears that this school isn't kidding when they say that they value good communication; I wasn't expecting to receive this list until the first week of classes.
For the curious, here's the list:

Goofball
Last night, after I finished saying Shema etc. for the boys, BSM asked me, "What's עפעפי?" I told him that they're eyelids, and then ended up having to explain what eyelids are. "OK, you know your eyeballs? You know how you can open and close your eyes by covering them and uncovering them with a little piece of skin? That little piece of skin is an eyelid." And now BSM knows another useful thing.
FF, however, wanted to know what eyeballs are.
ME: "OK, you know your eyes?" [point to my eyeballs and do a little bit of eye-rubbing]
FF [rubbing his eyes]: "My eyeballs attack us!!!"
ME [totally confused, wondering if I misheard]: "Your... eyeballs? Are... attacking you?"
FF [full of goofy joy]: "Yes! My eyeballs attack us!"
It's hard to say that this exchange fits neatly into a category of behavior exhibited by FF since before he could talk, but this exchange definitely evokes a response from me that FF has been evoking since before he could talk. And this exchange nicely exemplifies FF's approach to life that has caused Husbinator and myself to consistently refer to the boy as "Goofball."
