From random jew name: "are you the same Ette1 I went to Hebrew School with?"
- What if I am?  So what?  Are we going to meet to reminisce about learning to write the aleph bet now that we've reconnected?  What do you want to talk about exactly?
 - I was probably 10-years-old in Hebrew school.  The only thing I remember was that one guy was kind of cute.  So that's essentially how I spent my time, thinking about cute young jew boys, not learning Hebrew, and clearly not forming a lasting relationship with this girl who may or may not have been sitting in the same room with me once a week for a few months.
 - Do I have to "friend" every freaking acquaintance I've ever had in my life?  I spoke to the taxi driver last night, he asked about my day and where I was going to, is he my FB friend?  I've spent more time with him recently than this girl, that has to count for something.
 - What in the world made her think of me?  There's no way I was suggested to her, we don't have any friends in common and I certainly didn't list my Hebrew school in my profile.   Why after 20 years, would she remember my full name and have any inclination to contact me now.  Was I really mean to her back then - like a bully that she now wants to connect with so I know how she felt back then.  Entirely possible.  I was way bitchy, I probably have enemies.  But I feel like I pretty much kept to myself back then, it was before blogs.  Maybe she always thought I was cool and pretty and wanted to be my friend, but then lost touch with me until facebook put everyone out on front street.  Also entirely possible, I was a hot pre-teen, I was one of the first to get boobies and that counts for a lot in junior high - just ask Pants, they brought him around looking for me 15 years later too.
 - Anyway, it's weird.  And I'm not friending her.  I don't need her daily updates about how glad she is it's almost Friday, or how much she loves her husband or how the rain totally sucks.
