You know the law, that if you drop a piece of bread and butter on the floor it always falls butter side down. Well the same applies to bread and schmaltz.

Anyway, back in one of the Stettls (the old jewish villages in europe) a little boy is getting his daily piece of bread and schmaltz and he drops it on the ground. Anyway, the bread falls schmaltz side up!

He’s so excited that he runs and tells his teacher: “I dropped my bread an schmaltz and it fell schmaltz side up”.

His teacher hits him across the head and says “why you lie! the bread always falls schmaltz side down”.

The boy goes home and tells his mother “I dropped my bread an schmaltz and it fell schmaltz side up”.

His mother hits him across the head and says “why you lie! the bread always falls schmaltz side down”.

The boy waits for his father to come home and tells his father “I dropped my piece of bread an schmaltz and it fell schmaltz side up”.

His father is just about to hit him across the head, but decides to call the rabbi instead.

The rabbi thinks about it and says “You put the schmaltz on the wrong side”.

My sixth blogiversary comes up in a few weeks.

And here’s the song!

I found it (or Sarah did) while I was over her house. The kids simply loved it and made up their own exercise routine to it.
