I'm sure you love him anyway

Funny story. The place I worked at today is a pretty "white bread" type of place. I think I have had maybe one Jewish patient (if any) since I started working there more than three years ago. Anyway, today I was treating a patient and she asked me if I had any children. I told her I have three. She asked their names and I told her. When she looked confused, I informed her that their names are Hebrew. She then responded, "Oh, so is your husband Jewish?". I told her that he is. She then said, "Oh, I am sure you love him anyway."

That's when you say, "Oops, I spilled a little arsenic in your apple sauce. Bottoms Up, Grandma Nazi!"

That is TOO funny!

I know I should be appalled.
But I'm not.

Oh, wow, I can't believe someone said that to you.

I hope you gave her silver theraband instead of yellow!

And she didn't ask whether or not you loved those half-bred kids?

LOL! I think this may qualify for the OIB book, too.

I had someone rub my head at Bingo one night to see if I had horns. She said later it was for good luck, hard to tell the truth with Fredericktonians.
