Reply To: Who is Mordechai Schmutter?

I think you are so funny mostly because so much of what you describe is taking place in my own house. I laughed until I cried at the Pesach columns, and then there was a tu bshvat column that compared trees to boys. The kids thought it was funny but not the parts I thought was funny, which made them think I was just loony tunes or something. But I was laughing so hard at one line that I could hardly breathe and now, anytime I laugh at something that my kids think I am over-responding to they will say to me, “and sometimes he eats a piece of fruit”.
