Marni’s World:
The Four Questions and Answers:
Q:Why in all other nights we eat both bread and matzo, but on this night we eat only matzo?
A: Because carbs make you fat and swimsuit season is near. Starting tonight, no carbs for you for one whole week and god willing, come summertime, the good people of the Hamptons will not mistake you for a beached whale.
Q:That in all other nights we eat many vegetables, on this night, only bitter herbs?
A: Because Kale is a superfood, okay? Stop whining, just eat it.
Q:That in all other nights we do not dip vegetables even once, on this night, we dip twice?
A: Because your people built the great pyramids, you are now entitled to double dip. You’ve earned this. Go on, triple dip if you want!
Q: That in all other nights some eat sitting and others reclining, on this night, we are all reclining?
A: Because we all just drank four glasses of wine, plus “Elijah’s Cup.” Nobody is sitting upright.
