Custodian of Tradition

My son Jacob, he follows traditions Religious, he has certain ambitions He prays to God three times a day I think he even knows what to say Straight as an arrow, and square as a box Jacob took a liking to bagels and lox Sister snitched: Jacob prays right before he eats ~ that I don't slip a slice of pork in his daily treat

It is good that your son does try to apply the food restrictions of his faith to his life. It possibly will help him live longer. Be proud of a son who wants to do what is taught to him that is right and not do evil because there is so much of the evil in the world today. Sara

Cute share, Gershon. I had to smile a couple of times, but it sounds like a son to be proud of dad. Thanks for sharing. Bill
