Clueless

It truly is amazing that I manage to make my way through this world being as clueless as I am.

We had a lovely Bar Mitzvah service at shul yesterday. Noticing that the hue of the yarmulkes was a kelly green, I asked the young man if green was his favourite colour. He laughed, “No, it’s for St. Patrick’s Day.”

“Really?” I replied, “when is that?”

“Rabbi, it’s today.”

I mean, I did know that it was in March…sometime…

And I also knew that yesterday was the 27th of Adar.

That’s got to count for something, right??
