Reply To: No more kids divrei Torah before Avodim Hayinu

I once said a milsah d’bedichasah with the following taich:
in the paragraph of the Chochom child he asks and asks and asks from his huge piles of notes that he brings to the Seder table, one dvar torah after another…”Mo ho’eidus v’hachukim, v’hamishpotim…etc”. Everyone is falling asleep trying to understand, fighting to stifle their yawns. One person though is beaming with pride: the father! Even if he doesn’t understand all of it, his nachas knows no bounds. Says the Baal Haggadah, “Af ata emor lo kehilchas hapesach, ein maftirin achar pesach afikoymon”. Have pity on the rest of the family! You too, tell the kid, that just like there’s no food after eating the afikoymon, one more dvar torah and you ain’t getting any supper tonight!
