A Siman Tov, A Mazel Tov

My wife was sitting with our children looking at a wedding photo of her kissing with daddy. My six year old asked what we were doing. She replied we were getting married and mentioned everyone in the room was singing. “What were they singing, mommy?” Here mommy breaks out into A siman tov a mazel tov, yhey lanu, the wonderfully festive Jewish wedding anthem. Since it’s near bedtime, I hear the whole tribe–mom, six year old and 2 1/2 year old twins marching up the stairs singing like they’re in a wedding procession. But my irrepressible bouncy 2 1/2 year old boy is singing: “Simen tov, a razzle dazzle…” Kid you not.
