We had a few Ulpan people over for dinner Friday night. One of them was Australian, and he and the American Ulpan kid went "Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie: OY OY OY!" a couple of times. Eventually, the French Ulpan guy asked what was up with that, and they told him it was just an Australian thing. Y'know all nationalities have one... so the French guy, very naturally, asked what the French thing is, and the Husbinator responded with the stereotypical "Hongh, hongh, hongh." Like the British with English muffins, it seems that the French cannot identify the stereotypical French cartoon laugh. The French guy wasn't insulted as much as completely befuddled.
Shabbos day we were going to eat in the dining hall, but BSM's nap went overtime, so Husbinator and I ate at home, instead, and lo it was very nice.
We did the whole switiching-off for naps, too, which was, if possible, even nicer.
Oh, and what you all really want to know: BSM only threw up one more time Friday night, and his fever broke in the middle of the night. Thank G-d, he seems to be better now.
