Passover

          So, yesterday was Passover. My family got together at my aunt's house. She has four kids, plus her husband's brother came. That made 7 kids, me and my brother included, and 10 adults. There was a lot of food. The Seder (prayer ceremony, pretty much) was pretty interesting. We had to have the kids at a seperate table because there wasn't enough room. That got interesting. Aside from myself and my brother, the oldest kid was 8, 9, or 10, not really sure, but still. 5 kids under 10. Not so fun. I got stuck at their table, and they could not sit still. It was kind of funny to watch.
          After the appetizer, I stole a seat at the "adult" table. Oh, how I cherish adult conversations. I'm immature all the time, at school with friends, with cousins, at home, hanging out with friends, but it's so nice to be mature and have meaningful conversations. I'm a dork, be quiet, I know I am. But one day all you children will understand. It works out good because when they tell funny stories, they are hilarious. Like, pee in your pants funny. All their stories from when they were teens and in college and all that fun stuff. You just can't get that humor with people my age. Sure, stupid inapropriate stuff is pretty funny, but we don't have the experiences they do. Yes we are pretty old and mature, but not compared to your parents and aunts and older cousins. It's incomparable. It really is.
           My mother made brownies, and because it's Passover, we can't have normal brownies. You would expect them to be pretty good considering there isn't flower or anything to make it leaven, so they'll be pretty dense and delicious, but that was not the case. They were terrible. My mother claims it's because she used bad chocolate, but we'll see when she redoes them. Passover has it's perks, though. Matzah candy and Meringue cookies, so delicious. And for breakfast fried matzah with cinnamon and sugar, oh it's heaven. The only problem, my birthday usually falls over Passover. This year it's on the last day of it, April 26. I will probably break (we aren't allowed to eat leavened food like bread or cake, etc. so breaking is eating something like that) that day and/or before to eat birthday cake. The good thing is, if we have a cake that night at home, if we wait until after sunset it's okay, totally legal.
