Today's greatest observation.

I just witnessed the most jewish thing ever. I will try to recount this to interaction to you as accurately as I can.

A mother is on the phone with her mother waiting for her son to arrive to the Jewish Community Center

The Mother: Has she even left the house yet? I mean, she said she already had him in the car, but it always     takes her so long to get anywhere, you know?

After a series of dramatic sighs and hanging up the phone, she sees her son emerge into the foyer.

The Mother: Joshua! Oh my, you didn't brush your hair! Did you brush your teeth? Joshua, did you brush your teeth? Come here.

The boy becomes embarrassed when his mother combs his hair with her fingers and straightens his clothes. He starts to walk away.


The Mother: Did you put antibiotic on? Did you take your medicine? Come here and let me see. Joshua, I told you to put that cream on your face.


She leaves no time for the boy to answer and he has no desire to. He starts walking away.


The Mother: Joshua, you can shoot hoops with your uncle. How does that sound? I already called him. He'll be here soon.

Joshua: I'm going to the gym.

The Mother: Wait! Let me give you some money. You have money already? I'll give you more. Do you want Gatorade? I'll give you some money for a Gatorade.

The mother continues to talk to her son even after he has walked away mumbling that he does not want Gatorade.

Can you freaking imagine having a mother like that? I think the nagging would encourage me to become serial killer.

You would not believe how many Jews are buzzing around this place. I guess they need something to do other than eat Chinese food and go to the movies. Sheesh. I'm actually looking forward to bad takeout that makes me shit liquid.

I look forward finishing this knit project- my first slouch hat. It'll probably end up looking like a series of mangled vines piled on my head, but hey- a girl can dream can't she?
