Shanda, I’m happy for you, but I think we are talking about two different shandas.

Shanda in the heavenly language means JOY UNSPEAKABLE. Shanda is loving and kind. Shanda loves the Lord (Jesus Christ). Do you know Jesus? Is He your Lord and Savior on today? You should try Him…He loves you and He cares. As Shanda, that’s who I represent and there is no shame in my name because Jesus gave it to me. God bless you!

Apparently, the only way to be considered successful is to live near an Ocean. I can only imagine if my mother were in on that conversation:

Jewish Mother #4: My son is a doctor in Milwaukee.

Jewish Mother #3: Milvauke? Ver is dat?

Jewish Mother #2: By Kansas.

Jewish Mother #1: Feh. Vy couldn’t he be an underemployed pornographic screenwriter like Neil? At least HE lives near the Pacific.

Jewish Mother #4: Oy, de Pacific.

This is my favorite kind of dialogue.

A lot of people might claim that it has that New Yorker/Atlantic Monthly little quirk to it. I couldn’t disagree more. This is so real it’s artless.

I can hear the pauses. And the rush to get into the conversation.

Man…thanks.

Sounds like a scene straight out of The Nanny. Hilarious!

It’s called “kvelling”, right? This bragging-and-beaming-about- how-well-the-kid-is-doing? Where I grew up, kids whose mothers kvelled got beaten up. Maybe that’s a reason why not many of them wound up in med school …
