driving mr hayden. holiday version

last night. driving home. me, dan and hayden. looking at all the lights.

hayden: "i love all the lights. i want lights on our house"
dan: "were jewish, hayden. we dont put lights on our house"
hayden: "but i like lights"
me: (to dan) "theyre only lights. theyre pretty! i like lights. we can do blue and white ones. its not like the lights have anything to do with religion anyway."
dan: "no lights. were not having lights"
(pause of silence in the car)
hayden: (kind of wimpering and sad voice) "but thats what holidays are for"

dan and i start to crack up

dan: (still laughing) "okay...we can have lights!"

So can we come over SOON to see the lights? I'll buy the Hannukah Bush and we can all make ornamets at the kitchen table- it's all about having quality family time right???
