them that are having a hard life and
what a relief to just laugh at yourself

happen I remember my wife and I were we
were having an argument we were newly
married and we were doing a shabbaton in
the old city and we're on our way in the
old city we're gonna sleep here and we
got our roller bags already and we start
calling cabs sorry no cabin oak avenue

out in the street so we got to Jaffa
Jaffa used to have cars cam so that's
where you got a cab in the old days
before the trains you know every camps
full some of them weren't fault hmm
we're arguing we're fighting over like

situation I think it was about being
late being late can make you fight so

with with our roller bag and we see the
walls were there and all of them the two
of us we're bid argument in fact we even
stopped and faced each other to like you

right and wrong here and we just started
laughing and laughing and laughing and
laughing and we didn't even notice that
a car and actually pulled up next was
watching us laugh but someone was just
watching us laugh it was laughing and

just letting it go and just laughing
about ourselves a ridiculous we get we
take ourselves so seriously like were
some kind of something I don't know

the guy said something so I guess he was
commenting on her laughing and so we
looked over at him it was a taxi he's
like you to write meaning we had to get
out of our our energy was so closed up
and so tight and so contentious that
getting to the old city hat was was
clogged like a pipe the old city pipe
was clogged to the bloom we ran walk we
