A couple of ladies came by today just to chat. I immediately went to the fridge and grabbed anything I could make into a snack. They asked me "What are you doing?" I said "I'm whipping up a snack." They told me "you don't need to do that." I said "My mom taught me right..."

And we proceeded to have a very nice snack of things I pulled together at a moment's notice.

Do you think the same thing when this happens?

@Priyajsridhar
Have I written about Judaism, Jewish people, or being Jewish?

I wrote a story very loosely based on my uncle's experience being captured as a Jew in the Battle of the Bulge during WWII--he got rid of his dog tags and made up the most non-Jewish name he could think of: Randolph Rogers. So, Uncle Roy Rogers (not the cowboy).

My religion was the source of my "othering" for most of my life--I mostly avoid thinking about it. I had religion forced on me.
