Matchmaker from Hell

"Well, somebody has to arrange the matches,
Young people can’t decide these things themselves."

Today I felt like I was in my own rendition of "The Fiddler on the Roof" and "Matchmaker" was my theme song.

It was Hell, pure Hell!

My aunt turned 90 and her birthday was this big celebration with the whole family. I smiled, acted my polite little self and covered my tattoo so I wouldn't have to hear how I'm not going to be buried on a Jewish cemetery. (This is a myth BTW.)

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm Jewish and so are the many relatives I had to put up with tonight.

Don't get me wrong, as the corny song says "I'm a Jew and I'm proud" but I have also lived in this community for all my life and some things get annoying very fast.

Allow me to illustrate. Here is my very twisted, real life and sad songfic of my evening: (Notice how I selected only the relevant parts of the lyrics)

That's why I hate family reunions... Now, to the mandatory Quiz thing...
