great job on the story. i especially like the oscar wilde quote at the end

I never heard it before, but I admit it's a good one. Some fundamentalist in every religion should accept it!

This was really cute. I love the way you've blended the families here and shown how everyone starts their own traditions or at least puts their own stamp on existing traditions. The joke about marrying a shiksa is hilarious, I'm glad you worked it in.

That was pretty amusing. Not exactly a whole lot of story, but it was still quite good. Although, I'm still trying to figure out if it was Kasy who felt pressure to be a part of one religion over the other or if it was Sheki. Although, I had expected them to each have gone in the other direction in that area, which was quite nice to see my prediction was wrong. Anyway, thanks for posting that!

So does this mean that during the Exodus the budweiser wagon was pulled by eight camels?

Keep it KP real

Nice. All very familiar. I feel sad for the goyim - how can one truly know the joy of pizza unless one has been denied it for eight days! (It's not that I eat pizza every week, but, except for Passover, I _could_ if I wanted to...)

Chag Sameach!

That was sweet. Ron as always being 100% kosher friendly. His wife has to be the one observing all the rules. Typical male. Heheh.
So Kasy and Sheki are the flip versions of their parents at least in terms of religious observations. And Shego misses pork. Well thats life full of small and big compromises. It seems it was a biggie with the pork

Read you later!

A very nice tale.

very very cute... but as an iowa farm boy raised on the holy white flesh of the pig, I'm afraid shego would be out on her ass and the chops would be in :P that and the stone ground whole wheat bread... Poor kimmie must be a saint.

Like Bonnie, I had never heard that joke, but I like it!
My favorite is where the guy gets two shirts from his mother for his birthday, wears one over to her house the next day, and she says, "The other one you didn't like?"

I have to sympathize with poor Shego. She grew up without the food restrictions that go with Judaism, and now the thought of some bacon drives her crazy. Sometimes discovering faith comes with costs that we never anticipated.

It's kind of interesting watching the next generation try to sort the whole thing out. I suspect Aaron has a pretty firm grip on his beliefs, despite his young age. I've always felt that faith is something that has to grow. Our family and community only plant the seeds. Hence the varying degrees of observance within any religion.

Myself, I don't think I could ever go completely kosher. Pancakes aren't complete without mild sausages and true maple syrup over all.

Everything I learnt about practical Judaism, I learnt from KiY, LOL.

Oh, and the dangers of having a bi-religious household. At least some parts of the books kind of match up!

I still think it's amazing how you keep all the different dialogues in your head, and still give nice cameo touches for the ones that don't have lines.

Cute story. As always an enjoyable assembly of colorful characters.
