"Just" the Hebrews

My son lifted a wide-mouthed water bottle to his lips at the same moment I accelerated from a four-way stop. Water surged and splashed over his face, down his neck and soaked into his shirt. He pulled the bottle away and wiped his mouth with his arm.

"It's all right, it's all right," he assured us, "I'm jish a little wet. That's all."

His sister laughed, "That's funny how he said that, 'It's all right, it's all right, I'm just a little wet.'"

"Actually," I said, "it's even cuter. Have you noticed that he says, 'jish'?"

"'Jish'...Oh! I guess that's right. 'I'm jish a little wet.' That's cute! 'Jish'."

Suddently making a connection in his mind, my son whispered audibly, but mainly to himself, "It's like the 'jish people.'"
