Vignettes

After meeting two of my male friends--both Jewish--my dad says to my mom, "Maybe when she went away to college and we told her to meet nice guys, we should've told her she could meet nice Gentile guys."
...
I told my mom about an on-again, off-again relationship I had through college and she says, "Don't get me wrong, (your dad and I) don't think he's right for you, but now I'm primarily concerned about why you're so afraid of committment."
...
Men always think I’m too demanding . . . but all I ask is that they treat me like the goddess I am.
