Michael's Big Book of Bad Things Part 2.
My dad had a favourite page in Michael's Big Book Of Bad Things: page one. Because on page one it said, "Oh yes! Like the time you threw your mother's best ring out of the window! It was her grandmother's!" Now I know that sounds bad, but I was only two. You don't know you're doing a bad thing when you're two. I must have seen the ring on the floor, toddled over, picked it up, and gone, "Wheeeeee!" and it went flying out the window! Only I forgot to tell you, we lived in a flat over a shop, so when it went flying out the window, it landed in the street, where it was never found again. And something else, my mum and dad could speak another language. It's a language that some Jewish people speak. It's called, Yiddish. And my dad didn't say the English word, grandmother. He said the Yiddish word and that made it sound all kind of... ancient and traditional. So my dad says, "Oh yes! Like the time you threw your mother's best ring out of the window! It was her... bubbe's!" Bubbe's?! It felt like the room, filled up with bubbes, hundreds of them, and they were all crowding round me going, "You threw your mother's best ring out of the window, and it was her bubbe's?" [Face Palm] So what happens, the next time I get into trouble?
