Every time I pass this when I am driving on a major street in Los Angeles, part of me doesn't know what to think.  Lenin was a symbol of my childhood in Russia, for some reason children were taught to love him.  I was seven when we left Russia, I do not have a good long term memory, but I am so happy my parents decided to give us a new life, and when I pass it, sometimes I do feel uneasy.  

I got a new perspective driving by it with my oldest son, he is six, he doesn't know who it is, and the first thing he noticed is that he is wearing a keepa, what Jewish men wear on their heads.  Then he said he was Jewish, but the little guy on top was not Jewish.  I know my parents will appreciate this!

My son is also learning the more specific Kosher laws in his Jewish school.  The basics that every child learns first is not to mix dairy and meat.  Once you eat meat you have to wait six hours before you can have dairy again.  I had told him that his father will be home and make him something else to eat, and he asked me if it is going to take six hours for him to be home.  Then yesterday he just ate some chicken and came up to me right after and said six hours already passed, he wants dairy. He knows how to read the numbers on the clock but does not have the concept of time yet, so it cracks me up.

Had other thoughts but time has run out, busy with work and getting kids and just got my eyebrows did.
