Overheard between Phil (me) and Nathaniel (my five year old son) after watching an episode of Friends about Hannukah:

Nathaniel: “Can we celebrate Hannukah this year?”

Phil: “Sure!”

Nathaniel, after a pause: “Are we Jewish?”

Phil: “No.”

Nathaniel: “Oh, I don’t want to do it then.”

Phil (desperately): “Well, I can at least tell you about it, can’t I?”
