kippurbirdPassover is being Passover. Seder last night. My dad's cousin Bobby's wife Irene was very gracious. She made several empty gestures in offering to help with the dishes and things. My dad's other cousin, Mark (it was all his family)'s wife Harold didn't offer to help but she did spend a bit of time in the kitchen talking to us my mom and me.
It was very interesting between the two cousins. Bobby and Irene came with a bag of goodies: two boxes of matzah, two bottles of Manshevits' wine, and a bottle of grape juice. They made sure to point out everything they brought, including the fact that the matzah was made in Israel. The thing, however, was that we have the exact same boxes of matzah in the house because they were cheap.
Mark and Harold brought a chocolate (dark chocolate) Seder plate for dessert. They smiled and handed it over saying that it was for us. They also had a bottle of wine. They just gave it to us without pointing it out that they were giving it to us.
Interesting, I thought.
