- Every year during Passover, Cyrus ends up caving and sneaking in bites of levened goodness before the eighth night.
- But he's older now, officially a man. Granted it's the after-your-Bar-Mitzvah kind of man, but a man non the less. He will make it all eight days he promises to himself.
- Cyrus spent the week before Passover trying to get sick of chametz. He ate muffins, cookies, cake, waffles, doughnuts... anything he could get his hands on.
- When he sits down with his family for the seder, he thinks to himself 'I got this. Eight days is nothing.'
- He looks at the table and notices a plate missing. The spot normally reserved for Bubbe Rose gone. He smiled sadly, the first Passover without her.
- Aunt Ruthie lights the candles and says a blessing to start ther seder. Cyrus asks the four questions. His father reads from Aunt Ruthie' haggadah.
- It's very formal... and he stares at the thickness of the book. A pang of sadness hits his heart. Bubbe Rose always enjoyed finding fun silly haggadahs, like the Hogwarts Haggadah and the emoji one! Sadly, those have been cast aside this year.
- Cyrus is pretty sure he ate his weight in matzo because Aunt Ruthie 's haggadah is so long.
- Finally, after what seems like forever he can look for the Afikomen! He finds it underneath a pillow and claims his prize, a gift certificate to the bowling alley.
- As the week continues, Cyrus has lots of matzo related things: matzo brei, pb and j matzo, matzo pizza, even matzo lasagna
- 'I'm going to make it!' he thinks on the sixth day. But after having the fourth pb and j matzo for the week he starts to doubt himself.
- When he sits down for breakfast on the last day of Passover, he finds a plate of Passover French toast in front of him. It's good but he dreams about it being challah French toast instead.
- Oh no. It's happening. He's getting sick of matzo. He was so close!
- "What's wrong with Cyrus? He's staring at my muffin kind of... longingly? It's freaking me out." Jonah says to their friends at lunch.
"Whatever you do, don't let him eat it. Passover doesn't end until sundown," Buffy warns. Cyrus scowls at Buffy. She's foiled his plan to eat the muffin.
- In the end, Cyrus manages to follow the rules! He's relieved. And grateful Buffy stopped from eating chametz.
- That night, there's a knock at the door. It's TJ with his hands behind his back.
"What are you doing here?" Cyrus asks, a smile spreading across his face.
"I come bearing gifts," TJ moves his hands to reveal a chocolate chip muffin.
Cyrus gasps with delight, grabbing the muffin and holding it up to his face. He gives it a sniff, and takes a small bite. "Thank you so much!" Mmmm... tastes like heaven.
