"Tzeitel, don't forget the baby!!!"

I know this kinda random but I just found it hilarious that Tevye had to remind Tzeitel to bring her kid 😂

I know it sounds hilarious, but, when it comes to babies, people constantly remind others to take what they have to do to take care of them, even when its not necessary to do so.

Totus Tuus O Maria!!! Totus Tuus O Jesu!!!!

He did it because he was flustered. He had just expressed very reluctant acceptance of Chava marrying Fyedka and he wasn't sure how to move on from there, so he just started yelling and--said, "Don't forget the baby!" It is funny, though. :D

It was a comedic line that followed a very dramatic moment, for relief--and it wasn't the only time that was done during this show.

Yes similar to after he told Chava she couldn't marry a non-Jew in the first place. I absolutely lose it laughing once Teyve gets flustered and starts screaming. "Woman do not make me angry because when I get angry, even flies do not dare to fly!!"
