"Yes, Mama," Mireleh said smiling at her mother. " And he was the best thing at the whole Purim party. Everyone said so."
"In addition to that, Mireleh, your tateh knows himself, better than I know myself. He can even laugh at his faults. And he had the saichel to dress up like a clown, after all."
" You are right, mama." Tateh is smart. As for me, I think I kvetch too much...that is my shortcoming. And I should have more understanding and patience."
"Yes, Mireleh, we all have faults. It is good to know what they are."
