Food Joke

You know your mother is Jewish when She cries at your bris - because you’re not engaged already. She shouts “Mazeltov.” - every time she hears some crockery break. She does all her Pesach shopping for next Pesach as soon as Passover ends – because she can buy the essential items at sale prices. She calls you many times a day before 10am - because she wants to ask you how your day is going. She takes an extra suitcase with her on holiday – because where else can she put the hotel’s face cloths, soaps, shampoos, bath oils, shower hats and shoe shiners? She cries at your Barmitzvah - because you’re not engaged already. She goes to her doctor for every minor ailment – so she can show your photo to the young single doctors. She won’t let you leave home without a coat and some advice on dating – because ‘mother knows best’. She takes restaurant leftovers home with her - “I should throw away?” She cries on your 21st birthday - because you’re not engaged already. She’s serves you chopped liver every week - because just once, when you were young, you told her you loved chopped liver. She makes an extra shabbos table setting – because you just might have met your beshert on the way over. She gets mad with you if you buy jewellery at full price – because she knows someone who could have got it cheaper in Tel Aviv. She encourages you to do whatever you want with your life - as long as it includes grandchildren. She’s regularly heard muttering - “Is one grandchild too much to ask for?
