So the other day my friend from work, Sophie, had to perform community service to satisfy the conditions for the scholarship she receives. The community service entailed Sophie to hand out postcards in the mall detailing the evils of drugs. The funny thing is that the cards themselves didn't give out specific information but instead melodramatic asked the reader: Ecstasy, LSD, Pot.... DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF? CALL US AND FIND OUT! Mind you, Sophie was the same person who, when i complained about the lack of invitations in Israel to smoke the nargila, invited me to her house to smoke grass. The irony (or is paradox or hypocrisy - i don't know the correct word dammit!) of the situation was not lost on us.
So there we were, quietly making fun of the situation, when this little, blond haired, and big eyed boy came up to our table and quietely said:
"Ani haiti paam sual" - which roughly translates to "I was a fox once,"
To which my friend replied -"Really? And now you're a little boy?"
"Yup," said the little boy, "can't you see that I'm a boy now?"
"I sure can," said Sophie. Then he skipped away. Believe me when i tell you it was hilarious. Now i go around the office telling people in a cute voice - "I was a fox once, but now i'm a little boy."
On the side note, i was bummed that i wasn't able to get the poster of a baby bottle being used as bong. Sigh.
