I know it's strange, but I have a fear of not being able to speak Yiddish. That, snakes, and forgetting to put on pants when I leave in the morning pretty much sum up my greatest fears in life.

The fear isn't simply that I cannot speak Yiddish, but specifically, I fear that I if I were to run into Mel Brooks at, oh say the supermarket or movie theater, I would not be able to speak to him in Yiddish and tell him how amazing I think he is and I would feel like a total shmegege.

That being said, I've decided to pick up trying to learn Yiddish again.
