... but a true story.

In 1991, I was attending religious instruction (what we all lovingly called "Jew School" ) as part of a year-long process to convert to Judaism.

Just before Passover, we attended a lecture explaining the different parts of the Seder, and their meaning.

When our teacher got to the part about hiding the Afikomen and the reward offered to the child who found it, he said the following:

"When I was a kid, the reward for finding the Afikomen was usually five dollars. But things have changed, and kids are much more sophisticated nowadays. In other words, this is the part of the Seder where many of you will be meeting your child's lawyer for the first time."
