Happy Mother’s Day!

A Jewish joke-that’s-not

Print Email

She was so deeply imbedded in my consciousness that for the first year of school I seem to have believed that each of my teachers was my mother in disguise. As soon as the last bell had sounded, I would rush off for home, wondering as I ran if I could possibly make it to our apartment before she had succeeded in transforming herself. Invariably she was already in the kitchen by the time I arrived, and setting out my milk and cookies. Instead of causing me to give up my delusions, however, the feat merely intensified my respect for her powers.

-A very sincere Happy Mother’s Day, from all the sons whose mothers are the most unforgettable characters they’ve ever met.

    Brilliant upending of cliche, Marc!
