Papa grabbed one and popped it into his mouth. “When did I say that?”
“This morning. You told Daddy that we would be home fast because it’s ‘Yum Kippers’ today. I like kippers. Where are they?”
Papa laughed, “Daughter, you misunderstood! Today is Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday. Remember we talked about that two weeks ago?”*
“Oh. May I call Daddy? I told him you were making dinner.”
“Yes, call him quickly before he makes a date!”
