I remember when I was a little kid and the rabbi called our house to ask how my older brother was feeling--since my brother hadn't been to afterschool Bar Mitzvah preparation class in months and his Bar Mitzvah was coming up in two weeks.

I just remember a lot of yelling, during which time I was able to piece together that my brother had been playing hooky and hanging out at local fast food joints during the time he was supposed to be at class, after which he would take the public bus home as if he had gone to class.

So I guess the situation is kind of similar--aside from the fact that my brother was only twelve. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
