A Gutten Moed to all!
I went with my wife and 2 youngest children to a park today (that wasn't exciting enough for the older kids, so they ended up doing nothing. Go figure!). It was a beautiful outing. I made sure not to look inappropriately at the other women there, especially the Frum women.
One interesting challenge happened at the end of the trip. An elderly Jewish man, whom we had never met before, started telling my wife and me a joke. He prefaced it by saying that it was appropriate for mixed company. But, right away, it became apparent that the joke was going to be "off color." I told my wife, maybe you don't want to hear this, and she got up and walked away. Then, I said to the man, "Why don't I tell you a joke instead?" He protested that his joke was not a problem, and by Goyish standards I'm sure he was right. Finally, I said "I'm sorry, I guess we must be prudes." He said, "All right, forget about it." I'll never know the punch line - and I'm glad!!
