I Am Not The Chosen

filed under: Dadditudes

This morning, Max had climbed into bed with us (as usual, around 4am - none of us really even bother to wake up for it anymore, including Max). We all slept in for the first time in weeks, but around 8 he woke up and wanted some attention from Mommy. In the course of attempting to get up with him myself, thus (a) letting Mommy sleep and (b) getting to sleep in on Father's Day tomorrow, as it would then be "my turn," the following conversation transpired.

Max: Mommy! Get up!

Dad: Buddy, I'm going to get up with you.

Max: No! I want Mommy!

Dad: No, buddy, really, I'm going to get up with you this morning.

Max: No, Daddy. You are not Jewish. Only Mommy and I are Jewish. So you do not get to get up with me.

WTF?!

Better yet, where did he learn the whole Jewish matrilineal thing?

Well, I thought maybe you and Lisa had taught him that real quick... :-) Matrilinear stuff being so sane and right, though one should hardly say this on Father's Day!
