Yaakov and I both have a cold, so this morning, at 6am, when the kids woke us, I went to the kitchen to make tea for both of us. The tea was a weak yellow color. The following conversation took place:
Yaakov: Is that chamomile tea?
Leah: No, it's green tea.
Yaakov: Oh, so it's good for the environment, that's why it's green.
Leah: No, green tea has anti-oxidants.
Yaakov: What do anti-oxidants do?
Leah (thinks for a moment): They keep you from rusting.
Yaakov (deadpan): People rust?
Leah (equally evenly): Yeah, that's why old people's joints creak.
Yaakov: OK. (drinks his tea)

Love it! Thanks for the chuckle.
I gotta remember: people rust :-D
LOL! :-)
Shavua tov and refuah shlaimah to both of you!
Hey, it worked! Is that what you were thinking.
I've heard so much about the health benefits of green tea that I finally bought a box of it from Trader Joe's. I've resolved to drink 2-3 cups a day -- at least for now. I like to have hot drinks during the winter anyway, so I figure I'll make some of them green.
