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. The Blog Tags Widget will appear here on the published site.

The drying rack has been tinfoiled. I can now use it on Pesach.

(Rambam- Hilchot Matzah 7:6-7) We have to lean when eating, to feel like a king. Kings recline. Kings also spill wine and stain their shirts. This is to remember (Deverim 16:3) “Remember the day you left Mitzrayim.” I am assuming we were leaning a lot on that day, and we needed to find water to clean the clothes that got spilled on. Midrash Rabbah learns it from (Shemot 13:18) “And H’ led the people roundabout.” Which means they spilled on their shirts in the desert. Gd found a roundabout way to get us to ruin our clothes. The point of this law is that Gd wanted us to stain our clothes. And thus we lean at the Seder, because kings walked around with wine all over them.
