Happy Birthday Eliot!

May 10th!. 
It's my brother's birthday.
It's funny the things we remember.
Like my parents having a conversation one night .
While my sister and I sat in the kitchen eating dinner, my parents were talking in the living room, speaking in Yiddish which they would do when they didn't want us to know something. 
I never learned the language , however I was able to pick up enough to allow me to turn to my sister and say "I think Mommy is having a baby".
That was in the late fall. Next thing I knew it was Mother's day and the entire family went out to dinner to a place called Ben's Hungarian restaurant. 
It was up in Rockland county. 
The service was awful.
We sat around waiting for our meals forever. 
I remember we were a big party, but I can't recall who was there. 
Fast forward 24 hours and my parents took off for NY. 
The baby was coming.
I was 10 1/2.
Mona was 7 1/2.
We had no baby sitter.
Dad said if we need anything go down to the McSweeney's. 
I laid on the couch watching t,v.
I remember watching Johnathan Winters. 
He did a sketch on a baseball pitcher .
Eventually I fell asleep.
The next thing I knew, my dad was waking me to tell me to go to bed.
He said I had a new baby brother.
And that was that.
Happy Birthday El!
I hope you are having another awesome day!
