Move it yourself buddy

If anyone wants my car – without hotwiring it – here's how.

In the mornings, I take Hadas to nursery. Some days we walk; some days I walk and she rides her bike.

But on days when I drive into work, I like to take her in the car.

Although, it is less than a five minute walk, I don't think I am being lazy. It's just a time saver, and let's face it, we're all looking to save time, especially parents in the morning. But you know what the real time saver is – it's the fact that when I park the car, I turn the car off and leave the key in the ignition.

That's right, on my small moshav in the Golan, I feel 100 percent safe and sound leaving the key to the car in the ignition.

I remember one time when I came back to the car I saw that a truck needed to get by and some folks were looking for me. When I got there, I told them, "I'm sorry. But you know, the keys are in the ignition, you should've moved it yourself."

Rafi: I think it would be considered stolen even if I gave an inside tip to the whole world.

Aryeh: Natan has already expressed an interest in driving - although I haven't given him the keys yet.

Oh no, I'm being labeled a New Yorker! I thought that was a title I lost long ago... Oh well, like they say, you can take the boy out of NY, but you can't take the NY out of the boy.
