As they consume money, wipes and active sex life, children also consume most of our energy. We have all chosen this path, those with more awareness and those with less, so we try to accept this fact of life in a mature way. Most of us, at least.

One of Naama's fathers found a solution to his private energy shortage. Children at age 5, it turns out, start asking parents to meet friends after kindergarten, and the resourceful guy has come up with a winning method: he just came to pick up from kindergarten a little before time and orders his daughter to one of the kids in some sneaky way. When that child's parent arrives, it is already difficult for him to deal with his son's pleas, who hangs calf eyes and asks in the sweetest voice: "Can a colleague come to me?"

At first, as one who knows how hard the rules in the Matrix are, I appreciated the matchmaker. By the time his rules bending began to affect me, too. Precisely the week I took a week off from work, his daughter landed with me almost every day.

So true that she is cute and everything, but like most kids, she tends to make noise, and a variety of other troubles as well. Or, as Rabbi El Bandi said at the time, "I don't want to love anyone I don't legally love."

In preparation for the Freedom Weekend, this statement received further proof of its validity. I was sitting on the living room couch, staring at Rafi Reshef moving his mouth inside all the cacophony around (my two, two not mine) as that girl's girl popped into our living room curtain, which can only be found in IKEA ("I was disguised as a ghost"), and landed all at once on the floor , As she is uprooting everything that can be uprooted.

I called the matchmaker father and told him what happened. He let out a slight apology, but he seemed most sorry that I called him to come pick up the girl earlier than planned. At this point, I wanted to assure him that he couldn't just leave his girl every day to other random parents and hope for the best. But sadly, he and I are in a relationship where I can keep his daughter four hours a day, three times a week, but don't flatter him like that.

The 20 minutes it took him to reach me from the time I called were probably the longest in my life. During that time I tried not to hate his daughter and reminded myself that she was 5 years old, innocent and everything else. During all this time the girl just lay quietly on the sofa in the living room staring at the ceiling.

After a few days, an opportunity landed in front of me. I came to the kindergarten a little before my dad and decided to do something. I caught up with his daughter and daughter, explaining to them how magical they would be if they met now in a house that wasn't mine. When the father came and presented him with two girls with a pleading look in their eyes, he gave me a look of "I know what you did here" and had to swallow the evil of the decree.

I thought it went a little too easy. And really, even before I could enjoy my couch, the phone rang. "I'm there with you girls. My wife got stuck with Panzer on the way back from work ... I'll take the girls another day."
