For the past year I've been puzzled that Firecracker would call spinning tops "journals." That led to much miscommunication and frustration. Tonight I realized that she was trying to say "dreidel."
Kind of like the time years ago when my raised-in-a-midwestern-village-with-no-Jews-anywhere-nearby husband told me he knew our new neighbors were Jewish because the husband wore a yarma-luke.
