When Hun and I went to Miami this past January, with Bam, leaving behind the older three with my parents, we planned to bring them each a gift back home.
Due to some unfortunate weather, we did not have the time to look for some kitchy, "Florida" like souvenir as I originally planned. In fact, we did not exactly leave Miami with any gifts for the kids.
We did, however, stop at a CVS in Chicago on the way home from the airport. I mean, a CVS is a CVS, whether in Chicago or Florida, right?
I ran in, leaving Hun and Bam in the car and made a beeline for the toy aisle.
It took a millisecond to realize there was nothing interesting, so I grabbed 3 beenie babies that were ON SALE!!!
I got a dolphin for Ro, a dog for Ate and a penguin for So.
The penguin is where this story begins.
His name is Archie.
Apparently, a friend of So's has a penguin beenie baby as well.
Because of So's liberal imagination and constant need for new projects, on the heels of a very successful birthday party thrown for Archie in school, So has decided that her penguin, Archie shall marry E.'s penguin, Iceberg. I am not exactly sure if Archie and Iceberg are different genders or if my liberal daughter is conducting a same gender marriage, but at least it is not an inter species marriage.
The wedding has been planned for a while. This is good because it allows for E.'s mother to decorate some cookies for the event. So I have been told. So would like me to contribute some dum dum lollipops for the reception attendees, 14, seven and eight year old girls, that is.
I believe the ceremony is to take place during recess. I have also learned that my daughter has a husband (Archie's father) who happens to resemble another 8 year old girl in her class, who will be overseeing the ceremony. It seems she has been ordained as the first Female/Rabbi/Father of the groom...
Is this a bad episode of "Southpark" or something of the like...
I hope they hired a videographer and photographer because, sadly, I was not invited, even as the Grandmother of the groom ( so insulted). And I think this, obviously, unprecedented affair should be very well documented.
Now,
do I send the dum dums or not?

4 have shown Orah a little love:
well, i just finished making cookies...so sending dum dum is the LEAST you can do. and you have a lot more details then i do. i didn't know there was a father/rabbi ordaining the ceremony. i kinda wanna drop in and take pictures. is that wrong? what time is recess anyway.
oh..and iceberg is m.i.a. due to some little brothers. i hope we find it by morning!
I hope the ceremony goes very well. Maybe one of the kids has a camera on their cell phone and will take pictures for you. :-) (all kids that age have cell phones these days, right?)
That is just too funny!
If I was invited, I would have been sure to fly in!
