Illustration for the Hebrew word nasikha

Every group has one: the friend who loves the plan until the chair is plastic and the walk is uphill. In Hebrew you crown them on the spot.

יא נסיכה, זה רק חמש דקות הליכה, לא סוף העולם.

“Ya princess, it's only a five-minute walk, not the end of the world.”

Who is the נסיכה in your group, and what tiny thing sets them off?
