More Dassi Stories
Sep. 15th, 2005 02:56 pmSo yesterday I went to visit Dassi [partially for her awesomeness, and partially because she has something useful in her room I like to borrow, only it can't leave her apartment.] Raphi came in and out. Dassi decided that I was clever. So I asked her what "clever" meant in her vocabulary, because it's a word she uses a lot. She said it meant someone who was smart in many ways, and always knew what questions to ask.
During this same visit, I asked her if she was planning on having all the male members of the wedding party wear matching kippot. She said yes, and she was planning on making some of them, so I volunteered to help. There are only 5 for her side of the family [father and 4 brothers] and 5 kippot is like nothing, so I said that I could make all of them [I'd actually make a 6th for Raphi]. The only problem is that then this would be my wedding present, and I wouldn't be making a blanket. According to Yosef it's a nice wedding, since in theory each kippah is worth 15-20$, so 6 would be 90-120$. But that's retail value. They don't take half as much time, effort, or materials to make as would a blanket. And besides, they would go to the wedding party, so even if one went to Raphi, it's not like they would own the rest of them, so this isn't even something they could keep. Though Dassi really doesn't ahve time to make them, considering she still has to singlehandedly plan a wedding and attend Penn classes. Maybe I'll also make a blanket for them, and if I don't have time to finish it by the wedding, I'll have another semester to work on it.
I offered Dassi my 2 kippah books [well, one is mine and one is on load from Tova] so she could choose a pattern. I had them with me last night and Raphi was in 403, so I gave them to him so he could give them to her.
I saw Raphi today and asked if he had given the books to Dassi. He said. "Yes, I did, and she was very happy. To quote Dassi. 'I love Rachel.' I might have to knock you off!"
I'm actually in Dassi's room now. There's wireless throughout the highrise. Yay!
