#adventures in jewish parenting

In an amazing stroke of very funny irony, my kid’s first return to in person family services resulted in S making a new friend. The kid was nice, S’ same age, they got along like PB&J.

S seemed confused by how lost the new friend was during the service, but tried to guide them through as only an elementary schooler can.

New friend’s parents sat with me so the kiddos could sit together.

It’s amazing, y’all. New friend’s parents are both Lutheran pastors. They were visiting because they’re members of our new town’s interfaith partnership group. My kid managed to find, in under half an hour, the only non-Jewish child at the service and become best friends.

(Before anyone gets upset, New Friend is a sweet kid, and we’re getting them together for a play date soon. And New Friend’s parents are very nice. I just thought it was Hilariously ironic.)
