    I’m towards the end but not quite in the middle- (I have a large family). As a teenager I was also the oldest one home. I enjoyed being the oldest.

    One part I didnt like- was Yomtov when my married siblings came home, us single ones were the ones who served, cleared, and cleaned and had to watch my nieces and nephews.(My siblings all felt like they were on vacation when they came home.) Now, I cant say I blame them!

    The soap touches all your dishes and pots, so it needs to be kosher, although I never heard of sponges that need/have a hechsher.

    Even if they pay you, its a favor. It’s not always easy to find a babysitter. And besides, is it really worth it to babysit for the amount you’re getting paid?? Usually not!

    My nieces and nephews all call me by my first name. I always tell them not to call me Aunt ____ . Maybe because all my aunts and uncle were older, I feel like im too young to be called Aunt.

    There’s tonz out there, but a lot of times they completely change crowds. Like when I went to one it was definilty not yeshivish and now it is. The best way to find out what kind of crowd it is, is to find out what kind of counselors they want.

    Here is some places you might want to look into:

    Lock Sheldrak

    Cutlers

    Cresent Lake

    Lefkowitz

    Bayit Vagon

    I cant think of any more off the top of my head, I hope this helps you.

    There’s no general answer- If your teacher wont see you again before shabbos than she says good shabbos even on monday. But if you see someone everyday you usually dont say good shabbos on wednesday.

    I think peaple of bored if they post such questions.

    I heard a speech by Dr. phil Rosenthal ( i think that was his name ) all about internet usuage and teens. He is a online cop, and told us all kinds of stories. I think once you hear him, you wont let your kids have a facebook account. He was really good, but scary!

    Similar to Hashem’s son- we put music in the pop up ceiling, And told the teacher it was on over the PA System. She sent one girl to the office to tell them to shut it off, the girl came back saying the system broke and they can’t stop the music. The teacher was very annoyed, but having no choice had to continue teaching with the music on!

    –A Gift To The Teacher–

    Surprise!

    It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. The florist’s son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, “I bet I know what it is. Flowers.” “That’s right!” the boy said, “But, how did you know?” “Oh, just a wild guess,” she said. The next pupil was the sweet shop owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, “I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets.” “That’s right, but how did you know?” asked the girl. “Oh, just a wild guess,” said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held he package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. “Is it wine?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. “Is it champagne?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, “I give up, what is it?” With great glee, the boy replied, “It’s a puppy!” SURPRISE!

    Yeshiva Bocher’s First Date —

    A Yeshiva Bocher (young man) is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his Rabbi for advice.

    The Rabbi replies: “My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy.”

    The boy picks up his date and they go to a hotel lobby to talk. They stare at each other for a long time, as the boy’s nervousness builds.

    He remembers his Rabbi’s advice, and chooses the first topic.

    He asks the girl: “Do you like spinach?” She says “No,” and the silence returns.

    After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his Rabbi’s suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, “Do you have a brother?”

    Again, the girl says “No” and there is silence once again.

    The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his Rabbi’s advice and asks the girl the following question:

    “If you had a brother, would he like spinach?”
