One need not be Jewish to be a Jewish MotherThe phone rings; mother picks up the phone and answers: Hello? Daughter: Hi Mom. Can I leave the kids with you tonight? Mother: You’re going out? Daughter: Yes. Mother: With whom? Daughter: With a friend. Mother: I don’t know why you left your husband. He’s a good man. Daughter: I didn’t leave him. He left me. Mother: You let him leave you, and now you go out with anybodies and nobodies. Daughter: I do not go out with anybody. Can I bring over the kids? Mother: I never left you to go out with anybody except your father. Daughter: There are lots of things that you did and I don’t. Mother: What are you hinting at? Daughter: Nothing. I just want to know if I can bring the kids over tonight. Mother : You’re going to stay the night with him? What will your husband say if he finds out? Daughter: My ex-husband. I don’t think he would be bothered. Mother: So you’re ing to sleep over at this loser’s place? Daughter: He’s not a loser. Mother: A man who goes out with a divorced woman with children is a loser and a parasite. Daughter: I don’t want to argue. Should I bring over the kids or not? Mother: Poor children with such a mother. Daughter: Such a what? Mother:With no stability. No wonder your husband left you. Daughter: ENOUGH!!! Mother: Don’t scream at me. You probably screamed at your husband and will scream at this loser too. Daughter: Now you’re worried about the loser? Mother: Ah, so he is a loser. I spotted him immediately. Daughter: Goodbye, Mother. Mother: Wait! When are you bringing the children over? Daughter: I’m not bringing them over. I’m not going out! Mother: If you never go out, how do you expect to meet anyone? This page was last updated November 1, 2007. |
