My Dad is Nice

Most of the time

  My Dad is always pretty nice to me. Although a lot of the time he works. When he’s not working he likes to play catch, do homework with me and so much more. You’ll see all of the nice things he does with me.

  My Dad always helps me with my homework with me when I need help. I like when he helps me with my homework, because he is really smart. He even got valedictorian when he graduated high school. When I don’t do my homework he gets pretty mad at me, but he is always a pleasing homework helper.

This is my Dad speaking at Aljoya.

  My Dad gives a various amount of tzadakah. Once or twice every week a Rabbi would come to our house that needs money and my dad would give him a check. One time I gave a Rabbi some money, it made me feel very honorable. I gave the Rabbi money because he got the money to help a hospital in Israel that people go to when they don’t have enough money to go to a real hospital.

   When my Dad not working sometimes he plays catch with me. Sometimes he slings the ball at me like Kam Chancellor tackling Vernon Davis, and man is that hard. Sometimes he great passes right to my chest. Most of the time Eli [my older brother] or David [my younger brother] come and join the game with me and my Dad.

   One day my Dad was looking at something on his computer.

  I asked him “what are you looking at.”

  “The stock market.”

  “That’s cool, can you teach me how it works?”

  “Ok.”

  We looked at Youtube videos and a lot more. I learned a bunch of stuff. This was important for me, because now I know how to trade & sell stocks.

  Almost every weekend my Dad and I go to SBH [a place where Jewish people pray]. Sometimes my dad makes me go even if I don’t want to. Sometimes my dad gets me Remonim [that’s putting the crowns on the Torah] it’s really fun. This is special because it brings me closer to g-d.

  I might be making my Dad sound like a super awesome role model, but no parent is that perfect. Sometimes my dad gets mad at me or one of the kids. Just read the rest and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

  When my Dad comes down stairs he usually takes a quick stop in my room. Sometimes his reaction is mm and walks out, but sometimes

   He says, “Judah clean up your rom this instant.”

But I share my room with my older brother so sometimes

   He says, “Eli.”

 I’m eating breakfast, I leave my spot and my Dad catches me.

  He says, “Judah clear your spot”

  I know he’s doing this for good because now I’ve learned to do it without getting reminded. I’m afraid that one day I’ll forget to clear my spot and I’ll miss the bus.

  When I don’t listen to him he usually gets pretty mad, but sometimes he doesn't get that mad. These are some subjects that he gets the mad about not going to bed, not brushing my teeth etc. I think this is the subject he gets the maddest about.

  My Dad is nice and mean, but I know he’s mean for good. I can go on forever… if we switch back to the good part when he’s nice. I know he’s mean to prep me for challenges in life such as sleep away camp, collage and graduating collage. So my Dad is pretty nice.
