Why Jewish daughters need therapy
Jewish Mother: “Hello?”
Daughter: “Hi Mom. Can I leave the kids with you tonight?”
Jewish Mother: “You’re going out?”
Daughter: “Yes.”
Jewish Mother: “With whom?”
Daughter: “With a friend”
Jewish Mother: “I don’t know why you left your husband. He is such a good man.”
Daughter: “I didn’t leave him. He left me! ”
Jewish 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? ”
Jewish 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.”
Jewish Mother: “What are you hinting at? ”
Daughter: “Nothing, I just want to know if I can bring the kids over tonight.”
Jewish 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. From the day he left me, he probably never slept alone!”
Jewish Mother: “So you’re going to sleep over at this loser’s place?”
Daughter: “He’s not a loser.”
Jewish 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? ”
Jewish Mother: “Poor children with such a mother.”
Daughter: “Such a what?”
Jewish Mother: “With no stability. No wonder your husband left you.”
Daughter: “ENOUGH!!! ”
Jewish Mother “Don’t scream at me. You probably scream at this loser too! ”
Daughter: “Now you’re worried about the loser? ”
Jewish Mother: “Ah, so you see he’s a loser. I spotted him immediately.”
Daughter: “Goodbye, mother.”
Jewish Mother: “Wait! Don’t hang up! When are you bringing them over?
Daughter: “I’m not bringing them over! I’m not going out!”
Jewish Mother: “If you never go out, how do expect to meet anyone?
