How ironic...

Wouldn't you know that the day I decide to wear both my "Palestine" shirt and my "אילת" (Ayelet) necklace, I would meet a Jewish guy named David working at Panera Bread? He asked what my necklace said and I told him "Ayelet."
"What does that mean?"
"It means female deer; it's Hebrew."
"I know, I'm Jewish, too, but I don't know Hebrew."
I thought of telling him, "Oh, I'm not Jewish and I don't know Hebrew either, but really, I'm on Israel's side!" But someone was behind me in line and I figured it would be long and kind of complicated to explain it. Oh well; I guess I'll just eat my blueberry muffin...
