Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in Modiin-Ilit, right? The sun’s blaring through my window on Rechov HaShalom. I’m like, “Ugh, not today!” But ya know, gotta get up. First thing, I hit up the local café on Rechov HaGolan. Best coffee in town, no joke. I order my usual—cappuccino, extra foam, and a croissant. The barista, this dude named Avi, is like, “You again?” I’m like, “Yeah, who else is gonna keep you in business?” He laughs, but I’m serious. So, I’m sipping my coffee, and boom! My phone buzzes. It’s my buddy Yossi. He’s like, “Dude, meet me at the park!” I’m thinking, “Which park?” There’s like a million parks in Modiin-Ilit. But he means the one by Rechov HaTzofim. I get there, and Yossi’s already ranting about some crazy stuff. Apparently, there’s a new snake spell going around. I’m like, “What? A snake spell? Are we in a Harry Potter movie?” He’s dead serious. Says it’s making people act all weird. I’m like, “Bro, you sure it’s not just the heat?” Then, outta nowhere, this lady walks by with a snake wrapped around her arm. I’m not even kidding! I freak out. I’m like, “Yossi, is this part of the spell?” He’s cracking up, but I’m just standing there, heart racing. I mean, who brings a snake to the park? After that, we decide to chill at the playground. You know, the one near Rechov HaNesher? It’s got that cool slide and swings. We’re just hanging, talking about life, and then I see this kid totally wipe out on the slide. I can’t help but laugh. Like, dude, you gotta learn how to land! But then, I get this text from my mom. She’s like, “Where are you? Dinner’s at 6!” I’m like, “Mom, chill! I’m 25!” But she’s relentless. So, I tell Yossi I gotta bounce. On my way home, I pass by the market on Rechov HaYarden. It’s packed! People everywhere, yelling about prices. I’m just trying to get through, and this guy bumps into me. I’m like, “Yo, watch it!” He just shrugs. Rude, right? Finally, I get home, and my mom’s already cooking. The smell of schnitzel fills the air. I’m like, “Okay, maybe I can forgive her.” We sit down, and she starts asking about my day. I tell her about the snake spell, and she’s like, “You kids and your stories.” I’m like, “Mom, it’s real!” But she just rolls her eyes. Classic. After dinner, I’m chilling on my couch, scrolling through my phone. I see a post about the snake spell going viral. People are sharing videos of their pets acting weird. I’m like, “What is happening in Modiin-Ilit?” So, I decide to hit up Yossi again. We’re texting back and forth, and I’m like, “Dude, we need to investigate this snake spell.” He’s down, of course. And that’s how my day went. From coffee to snakes to family dinners. Modiin-Ilit, you crazy! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
