it would have been enough, DAYENU!

This year, I had the joy of attending another Seder with my favorite adoptive Jewish family. It was my first vegetarian Seder, and somehow, even without the turkey, pot roast, stuffing and chicken broth (you better believe I ate the Matzo ball!), I still managed to stretch myself beyond capacity.

To that end:

If they invited me but didn't give me wine
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they gave me wine but it wasn't four glasses full
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they gave me four glasses but they weren't from a local Brooklyn winery
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they gave me local awesome wine but not gefilte fish
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me gefilte fish but not the fancy Israeli matzo
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me the fancy Israeli matzo but not the matzo ball soup
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me matzo ball soup but not the Sannie Salad™
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me the Sannie Salad™ but not the potato pie
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me the potato pie but not the brussels sprouts
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me the brussels sprouts but not the macaroons
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me the macaroons but not the chocolate covered matzos
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me the chocolate covered matzos and not Ladybird cupcakes
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they fed me Ladybird cupcakes but didn't make me laugh
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If they made me laugh but the baby didn't fling hard boiled egg at me
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

If the baby flung hard boiled egg at me and they didn't make me feel loved
it would have been enough, DAYENU!

But boy did I feel loved.
And covered in egg.
And full.
And it was enough.
