Today when they went to the makolet, Adina gave Moshe and Chananya a half shekel each to spend on a treat. Moshe (4.5 years old) is starting to understand the concept of money. Chananya (2.5 years old) doesn’t really get it at all yet, other than knowing of its existence. So upon being handed a half shekel coin, Chananya says “Ima, open it please”.

(If you don’t get the joke – which Chananya meant in all seriousness – then please recall the holiday that just ended, and the small chocolate coins that kids receive and eat in abundance during said holiday).
