We we had a class at my synagogue that night, so we exchanged gifts and had a short dinner out on the way.
At I believe 8th grade history, it was asked in a test or exam or what are they in lower school, who was the leaders of Russia and US: I remembered Boris Jeltsin well enough (and that was nothing political), but for some reason I could not remember Clinton What? So I wrote Hillary Clinton. I don't know if it was because the teacher was female, and she mentioned it aloud when handing back the tests, but she gave full remark.
