64. Ahem,
actually the reason she has never met her 84 year old great-grandmother, who is still living in New Jersey is because she loves to spew anti-Semitic shit. Ug.

The only time I ever met the woman, I had been married to my husband for six months and we drove to New Jersey to meet them, since they couldn't come to the wedding.

The FIRST thing she said when she saw me was "I vas so glad he didn't marry a dirty Jew!"

Oh. My. God. I nearly fell to the floor. I considered, for about half a second, saying "What? Didn't he tell you? I AM Jewish!"

But I didn't. I just got sick to my stomach and told him I never wanted to be around her again. That was 12 years ago. I haven't seen her since.

Ug.
