Funny question for everyone, but my friends and I are wracking our brains on this one...
There's a humorous twist on a saying from chazal that goes like this:
"One can see a person's true colors in the way he deals with three things: Carpools, cleaning ladies and... ??"
I know it also starts with the c or k sound, but we can't seem to remember what it is, and it's so relevant this time of year Smile

(FYI the original saying goes: "One can see a person's true colors in the way he handles three things: his money, his anger and his alcohol")

I guess it's a takeoff, but I always heard: Jewish women don't share their cleaning ladies or their babysitter's numbers.
