Gabriel Mann, 5,
of Franklin:
"Daddy [George] cuts
the grass sometimes ...
and sometimes he goes
to the gas station for that
thing in the cutter when
he cuts the grass ... and
he also reads me stories
when I go to bed ... and
sometimes we go around
the block and then we
come back home ... and
sometimes we go to the park and pick up my
brother ... and when I came back home I put on
my pajamas and I went to bed and then got up and
then I went to school ... and that's all."

Shoshana Silow, 5 '/2,
of Huntington Woods:
"My dad [Charles] plays
with me and he calls me
silly names and some-
times he tells me silly
stories and he gives me
presents — like, well,
sometimes for my birth-
day my parents take me
to California and I like
that and that's all."

Simcha Spolter, 4 3/4, of
Oak Park:
"My abba [Rabbi
Reuven] is a rabbi. He
teaches children Torah.
He likes to play games
with me and he likes to
say 'Boor when we're
playing hide-and-seek.
He davens in the shul
and that's where he
teaches Torah."

Kip Glickman, 4, of
Southfield:
"I don't know what my
dad [David] does for a
living. Oh yeah, I do —
he sells cars! He's a good
dad because he plays Lego
with me and he reads sto-
ries to me. Superman is
my favorite. My dad does
everything else, but he
doesn't fix dinner; my
mom does that. My
favorite is chicken."
