Photo from the PJ Library... And that's how Queen Esther looked when she was in pjs, with her paper crown.
This interview took place after Megillah reading on Purim evening. The little kids were getting their candy-filled Mishloach Manot. A bunch of the little girls were dressed as Queen Esther, so I asked one of them why. She just wanted her candy.
Who are you? Queen Esther Why are you dressed as Queen Esther? I love Queen Esther. Why did you not dress as Vashti? I hate her. Why do you hate Vashti? She's not nice. She wasn't bad to the Jews. Well she was bad to me. Why? My mom dressed me as Vashti last year, and I looked like an idiot. Can I get my candy?! Do you like Mordechai? I hate Mordechai. He pulled my hair last year. Did Queen Esther do anything about that? I was Vashti. So, I smacked Mordechai. Oh. Which Purim character do you like? My mom. When she doesn't dress me as Vashti. I see, you have a beautiful little tiara. Did Queen Esther have a tiara? Yes. What was her tiara made of? Felt fabric sheets. Are you sure? No. It might have been made of plastic. Wait. It was definitely paper. Are you sure? Yes. You can cut that easier. We learned that in arts and crafts class. What else did Queen Esther wear? Her ballet dress. Did she use makeup? No. Her mom didn't let her. What's your name little lady? Esther. No. What's your name? I'm Esther. I know you're Queen Esther. But, who are you? (no answer) You're doing a great job in character. What grade are you in? Can I get my candy?! What do you want to be next year? Mom! She's not giving me candy!!! Conclusion When she started yelling, I gave her the candy. You can get arrested for not giving a child candy. As I learned, when a kid is screaming it makes no difference if you hit them or don't give them candy, or if you gave them a kind morning greeting. It's abuse. When Esther wants her candy, you give it to her. As she was walking away, I asked her if Queen Esther had temper tantrums. I found out her name was Esther. If she wasn't dressed as Queen Esther, that could've saved a good minute and a half of the interview. Tags:

They didn’t see the duck in the shul. They were orthodox, but not all orthodox people are observant. You get it? Observant means observing the Mitzvahs. Orthodox means following the Mitzvahs, observant. Not the fact that waterfowl is in your shul. 
'End of the world sale' and people still won't part with their money. Tourists are still haggling... These guys at the shuk have it hard. I remember when the guy had a 'going out of business' sale for six years... Six years of having to go out of business. And the whole time he was still bringing in new product. Not easy to be going out of business that long. And then to have to stay in business after that.

(Brachos 54b, Rama 64:1) It's forbidden for a Chasan or Kallah to go outside alone in the marketplace during Sheva Brachos. They can only go out with an escort. Some say it's because of Mazikin (harmful beings) or they're like a King. They're also worried that after spending time with the in-laws, the newlyweds will try to run away.
