Oh, he's always rolling. Always rolling. People need to know. The She was in her third month of pregnancy and 6 months of pregnancy and it was Arab Shabbos. I was taking a cup of coffee in the kitchen. All of a sudden I hear a yell. She tripped on a Lego and broke her leg in two places. So she got out of surgery. We had a hospital said she needs surgery but we had a friend who's an expert orthopedist and he took a look at the x-rays. He said, "No, no, it'll be fine." So it got out of surgery. Then she was in the out of surgery. Then she was in the hospital and the doctor comes around on his rounds and there's a lady in the bed next to her with a broken leg. He said, "What happened?" She says, "I was skiing and I rolled down the mountain." You know, that's that's that's good, you know. That's to my wife, "What happened?" He goes, "Oh, I tripped on a Lego." And I got the same as it got the same exciting ring to it. That was better. Huh? We had little kids. My son was 3 years old at the time, you know, Legos are you know, kids play with Lego. But she tripped on a Lego, boy. That was uh she tripped on a Lego, boy. That was uh tripped on a Lego and then there went her Lego. Okay, 588. Vayhi bayom hashmini kora Moshe el Aharon u'l'vanav u'l'ziknei Yisrael. On the eighth day Moshe calls out to Aharon and his sons and the elders. Now, if you remember, they had just spent 7 days Aharon and his sons 7 days doing the inauguration process. So here it is the eighth day. Why does it say kora Moshe l'Aharon u'l'vanav? He called them. Why didn't it say vayomer
