you gotta love my grandma cookie — she’s always looking out for my figure!
(this is why the seder calls for the drinking of four cups of wine.)

Nothing better than getting an e-card from your grandmother wishing you a Happy Passover and realizing she slipped in a snarky weight comment as well.

“this is why the seder calls for the drinking of four cups of wine”.
That’s nothing, after a holiday with my family it’s “take two 40’s and call me in the morning”!

Flammable matzo balls are the fondue of the 21st century!

I am on a quest for a good matzoh ball recipe, myself. Make them light, eh? Like make them glow or make them cloud-like? You never know what she REALLY meant.

True, classic passive aggression. Haven’t we all had some apparently loving message like this that actually makes us feel far more depressed than before we opened it. I had a birthday card recently from my mum saying “don’t count the years! Enjoy the days!”

Give grandma her due. She “Cared enough to send the very best”, you fat slob! I’d send her a card right back saying “Since your so old, I’m sending this greeting by e-mail instead of U.S. mail.”

I am pretty sure that after being handled by a rabbit and a mouse, that matso wafer is no longer kosher.

At this year’s Seder, it won’t just be the herbs that are bitter.

In my family, it would have said “Make the matzo balls light, and maybe you’ll find a husband this year.”

Maybe she will get you a gym membership, some Slim Fast and a pair of jeans two sizes too small for Hanukkah .

Is it just me, or are those tiny woodland creatures really STRONG?
What is IN that matzoh anyways?

Is this a Jewish thing?

Turnabout is fair play. This is when for Hannukah, Grandma gets a tube of denture cream, some adult diapers, and flyers about the ideal casket. Try not to overdo it, though, so you stay in the will.

In a situation like this, it leaves the question. what would God do? The answer, plagues of locusts, boils, and the murder of firstborn children. This may not work for Kerry, as Grandma’s firstborn could easily be Kerry’s Dad. But then again, revenge is revenge.

I received a birthday card from my grandma a couple years ago. After some pleasantries she told me that I should get a job because, “that’s how the world works, you know.” Bonus: because we don’t speak often, she didn’t know that I’d been working full time for a month prior to my birthday. Now that I’ve seen this site I wish I’d kept it instead of ripping it to pieces.

Have yourself a nice healthyPassover
Make your matzo light
Use a blender so the matzo comes out right
Have yourself a nice healthy Passover
all the seven days
I hope you took the time to scrub the filth away
Oy my dear are still single
will you please mingle
this year
You’re not so young, get your self a man
a nice Jewish man
my dear
Have yourself a nice healthy Passover
no leaven allowed
buir chametz until sweat forms upon your brow
And have your self a nice happy Passover, now.

Ofcouse while God was busy striking down the first born of the heathens, he was concerned about the waistlines of his chosen people. Amen!

Ha. Oh Cookie. At least yours don’t repeat, “You ARE going to keep doing this once we’re dead, right?” after every prayer.
