Was My Mom Jewish?

As soon as we didn't have to travel to make it to Christmas dinner with my grandparents, my mom started ordering Chinese take-out for Christmas Eve dinner.

In my sheltered upbringing, I was unaware that this is also a Jewish tradition.

Every once and a great while I wonder if Mom had secretly converted to Judaism.

But then I remember the pork-fried-rice and the BBQ...

Convergent evolution, again.

But then the imagination gets going.

The Gestapo knocks on the door, with receipts from the Chinese place using it to prove we're secret Jews...

My imagination is a surreal place.
