The Oma moment of the Week
I have decided to post an Oma story every week as she seems to be quite popular *heehee*. This week's fantastical tale of wonderment is...She was engaged to a Jewish Football player and dated a night club owner.
I will let that soak for a moment. Oma, who still uses "colourful" phrases like: coon, woppy, and "it must be the jew in her" (referring to alcoholism, and I must say, if you are GOING to be a horrible racist, at least get your stereotypes right), dated a Jewish guy. Who was so Jewish, the RABBI came to her house to talk to her mother. Wait. I have misspoken. Not just dated. They were engaged. Till he cheated on her. And I really think that happened. Also, please sign up to visit the unicorn in our backyard.
And the nightclub owner. Who owned a nightclub in Florida or Boulder, she can't recall (they are so very close after all) and WINTERED IN WINNIPEG. Let me explain that to anyone who has never been to Winnipeg. Polar bears wear coats in the winter. Cars freeze. Like, the gas in cars freeze. Really. And you have to DIG YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR HOUSE! Who the hell in their right mind would WINTER there!? Oh wait. Figments always act against commonlaw. I forgot.
Oma, combining perception and facts and just a hair of crazy to form a bold new reality, since 1928.
