A few months ago, my dad presented us with a rubber-banded pile of dvds. They were each clearly labeled–Jennifer’s Childhood #1, Melanie’s Childhood #2, Melanie’s Bat Mitzvah Party, Melanie’s 5th Grade Play, et cetera… Many of the images on these dvds were horrifying–especially those showing me with bangs up to the roof chanting in Hebrew while wearing blue eyeshadow.

“No way,” I fired back, not necessarily because I really felt that way – I hadn’t yet spent much time thinking about the topic — but because their response felt too quick and emphatic for such a gray issue. Plus, sometimes it’s fun to clash.
