Tonight was, by far, the most interesting passover seder I've ever attended/helped organize.
Some notable things
-Elijah's cup became Elijah's bottle - we completely ran out of cups.
-Miram's cup was a dixie cup.
-While washing hands one girl dumped a good amount of water on her brother's lap. She swears it was accidental.
-Our local grocery store didn't have edible looking parsley. We went with spinach.
-I made enough charoset to feed a small army.
-The person who made the Matzo ball soup made enough for a small family. A very, very small family.
-As promised, somebody brought enough Haggadahs for everyone. However, they were all in Hebrew exclusively. It was a really slooooow seder.
-The youngest person in attendance was 18, so we made him read the questions. He was annoyed.
-The guy who hid the afikomen hid it in one of those canvas curtains that folds up. It took us close to 45 minutes to find it.
-One of our parents sent 8 bottles of kosher coca cola. We drank less than half of one bottle.
-We set off the fire alarm when we blew out the candles.
-Every person knew a slightly different tune for a lot of the songs. Nobody knew all the words to any of the songs.
-The security guard kept walking through the building, clearly suspecting we were up to no good.
-And we ended the night watching the Rugrat's passover special. We we're so very mature.
Also, my friend's mother sent us all really cute Magen David necklaces.

. My ds is actually the youngest but too young to participate at all (as in he and I played cars during the entire reading, except of course when I was called to read).
