Inbetween humming and singing, she creates conversation that sounds something like this: &#8220;Honey? I miss you&#8221;; &#8220;People? money! coins, twenty cents&#8221;; &#8220;Hello, how are you? Let&#8217;s go home? Yes? ok. Here&#8217;s the car. Vroom. vroom. Bye [...]]]></description>

It broke after she tried to eat it.
And for the longest time I have been cringing at the sight of the countless magnets on our refrigerator that advertise Shlomo&#8217;s pizzeria, the Golomb pharmacy, and who knows what else in Hebrew.
