Conversation Glimpse

Conversation I had recently with a friend on Facebook where we joke about the frum community's attitude about several topics, including having kids and a woman's role in society.

(Wait, aren't those the same thing?)

9:19pmFriend

9:19pmMe

9:20pmFriend

hmm well yeah

9:20pmMe

it's like a conspiracy to repopulate the world with their own offspring

9:21pmFriend

omg lol

9:22pmMe

*conspiring in a back room somewhere*So we have to marry them off - one after the other, after the other, and then tell them that it's their duty to have a kid every 9 months

9:22pmFriend

omg

9:22pmFriend

lmao

9:22pmMe

*continues planning* "if you can manage two at a time, you'll get a special award!"

9:22pmFriend

What, a third kid?

9:23pmMe

hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

*announcement* "the award will be... a lifetime supply of caffeine and tylonol!"

9:24pmFriend

9:24pmMe

"we'll even throw in a free Pesach* experience!"

*Succos is available as an alternative

9:25pmFriend

(a humor piece must be written..)

9:25pmMe

besides, my hearing will expire from all the noise on its own

9:26pmFriend

lol

9:26pmMe

*alternatively* "NOISE? WHAT NOISE? I CAN"T HEAR YOU!"

9:27pmFriend

“what??? did you say s/t?”

9:27pmMe

"MY HEARING SORT OF WENT AFTER THE 12TH KID"

9:27pmFriend

“oysh, mine went as well… I dont know… I dont remember anything…

my memory went, since the last time i slept 4 consecutive hours was, oysh, maybe 30 yrs ago?”

9:28pmMe

"DO ME A FAVOR? GET ME SOME OF THAT GINKO STUFF FOR THE MEMORY?"

9:28pmFriend

“yes mine neighbor told me about that giko”

“natural”

9:28pmMe

"4 CONSECUTIVE HOURS? YOU GOT FOUR? I ONLY GET 2!"

9:28pmFriend

“safe, much better than going to a doctor”

9:29pmMe

"Scientific studies say it's a hoax, but what do these scientists know? My neigbor? HE knows!"

9:29pmFriend

“yes well not he, we dont talk to people called ‘he’”

of course

9:30pmMe

"Right. I'll talk to his secretary, tell her my symptoms, she'll tell him, he'll ask her some questions for me, she'll come back and get my answers, then she'll go back to him and then he'll prescribe some healthy herbs."

9:30pmFriend

“exception for talking to these ‘he’ creatures: for my new baby boy, my tzaddikel”

“husband - not so much”

9:31pmMe

lol

"I'd go to a lady doctor, but you know ladies don't really have the brains to be doctors..."

9:32pmFriend

oy

especially an ob-gyn

u must go to a man

women are too emotional to make good decisions

9:33pmMe

because men are so much more sensitive to women's issues (i've actually heard people say that about going to male OBs)

9:33pmFriend

(truth- this could a a thread outta imamother- they really truly say that)

9:33pmMe

Daaaaaaamn (excuse my French)

9:35pmMe

i'm gonna copy and paste this into my blog.

take the names out to protect the innocent, of course
