2009?

As most of you know, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, was celebrated back in September. Well, a couple of weeks ago I was out for drinks with K and C, and K brings up the holiday…and her confusion about it.

K: You wanna hear something funny?

B and C: (looking at each other with much excitement, due to K’s stories usually being entertaining.) Sure.

K: Ok…I kept wondering why people kept saying Happy New Year back in September…

B and C: (confused) Yeah…

K: So I asked M (M is K’s girlfriend, and she also happens to be Jewish) and she told me that it was the Jewish New Year.

B and C: Ok…so…

K: But I was still really confused about it, so I asked M if that meant it was already 2009 for Jewish people…

B and C: (hysterically laughing) And what did she say?

K: (also laughing) She told me it didn’t mean that…different calendar or something…

That’s K for you. C and I were laughing our asses off because this is the same girl who didn’t know the difference between the atmosphere and a hemisphere. She’s also the same girl who asked if it was going to be dark in a cave. And she’s a teacher…thank God it’s only gym!
