Do you know what the right way to eat strawberries is? No, no, no… Whatever you have in mind – forget it. The right way to eat strawberries is…To be waken up on your birthday at 7 o’clock by Uncle Petya, who brought a big milk can full of the first strawberries from Aunt Luba’s and his garden. The strawberries are still not fully ripe, but I must have berries for my birthday, according to Uncle Petya. The same Uncle Petya who's sure that “There aren’t not ripe strawberries. Only not enough sugar.”
***
Uncle Petya had already passed away. There is no garden anymore. The milk can… Maybe Aunt Luba still has it somewhere. But for the last 18 years every morning before I wake up on my birthday there IS Uncle Petya with a big milk can full of strawberries.
And I pray to G-d that for the next 80 years it will not change.
