This is why we never gave her a bat mitzvah.

Oh, but does she want 8 Hanukkah presents every year? You bet she does.

Clearly she inherited the multi-generation Indiana family food gene from her non-Jewish mother. Either that, or this is not my daughter. Should I go on Maury?

I’m not even going to try with the gefilte fish. I don’t need the tsouris.

And I’ll tell you one thing- she isn’t going looking for an afikomen come Passover.

Non-Jews: it’s probably best to just ignore my rant. Thank you.

EDIT: Hmm. Guess people here aren’t matzo fans either. Oh well.

    I hated most of my parents favorite foods until I was in highschool and even then I was still kind of picky until I was in my 20s. My niece refused to eat anything but chicken nuggets and strawberries until she was like 15. Kids are weird dude lol

      That’s funny. My uncle apparently refused to eat anything but olives for like two years when he was a kid.

      She’s not the most adventurous eater, but in general she’s willing to try new things. It’s just very disappointing that this specific new thing, which is kind of a big part of her culture, was something she didn’t like.

      My wife joked that she’s not a proper Jewish girl. She gets it.

      (Seriously though, my daughter is as Jewish as she wants to be as far as I’m concerned. It’s not something I will force on her.)
