“We get together for one night out, and you guys are like not even here. If you prefer to text all night, why did you even come?"
“O kay people chicken steak” my sister Nechama announces. “Oh my gosh I have to text Yossi. He’ll totally crack up. Like hello please call pounded chicken on the bone steak.”
We all laugh and eagerly attack the food. This part of the Anshei Chesed dinner is great. If only we could disappear before the speeches begin. Sitting next to Nechama my eyes follow her fingers as they type. Enjoy the “steak” lol. Maybe smarter not to become fleishig and we’ll share that sinful mochaccino thingie again.
Under the table my thumb massages my own phone screen. The last time Mendy and I shared a mochaccino thingie was um… when?
“Hey ” Malkie says nudging me. She shovels her stir-fry onto my plate. I wink hand her my blueberry muffin in exchange and we high-five. Nothing beats sisters.
