Not funny was when I found myself staring at my microwave several years ago at 3am, finding my phone rotating as I awakened naked and astonished.

You have a beautiful family and congratulations on the biblical zoo and the birthday.

If you don't live in Israel and haven't experienced the last 8 months and don't have children in the IDF, it might be hard for you to understand.
