re: #197 Belafon

I talk politics with my kids, and I have them read and watch things to expand what they know (like I’m making my youngest read The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges). My middle gets rather frustrated at times at how incurious his classmates are, and how little their families seem to engage with them on topics. Then again, I get frustrated at the people at work for the same reason.

Son2 blew away his Olympics of the Mind teacher by identifying Moshe Dayan. She wanted to know how an Alabama Goy HS kid would know that. He admitted that it came from our dinner time dirty joke about a rabbi, a parrot, and the good general.
