I should write a book (social Jewish stuff)
About the little MO girl who meets the big wide weird yeshivish world ;)
After discovering the heavy compliments ("you're hot and sexy!" ;) ) and touchy feelyness of girls with girls and boys with boys in this world, as well as the same sex play-chuppa (wedding canopy & ceremony) and little boys being "shabbes mama" in a dress (see Imamother for the last one), here is a new one for me: it totally happens and is normal that a frum person of the same gender will ask you where a shop is, and will then ask you if you want to come shopping together, or that you will propose to do it.
I learned that new one when husband was telling me about his day, that he went to pick up something at the supermarket and a bachur asked him about the men clothes shops, and that he had to refuse to go along because it was Mati time. Oh. Kay.
A last one for the road, as we say in French. In my schools, the end of class was "l'heure des mamans", the mommies time, because most parents who picked up the kids were moms. In Mati's school it is "l'heure des papas", I kid you not. The daddies time. My husband, who drives and picks up Mati every day, says in the morning 9 out of 10 parents are dads, and in the afternoon, "only" 75%.
I wish the Imamother bashers could see it. Frum men don't do a lot? Kollel men don't care for the kids? Ha!
