Becoming a Man

So, Jews are weird. When a boy turns 13 he becomes a man. There is a service and a celebration for the little brat becoming a full fledged jew member. (just to be clear, jewish "men" at 13 are thus allowed to take credit for you know what)

I had the "pleasure" of going to one of these in DC last weekend. I joined the celebration of my wife's cousins rite of passage.

I wont delve into the finer jew points of the ceremony or the blatant violations these reform jews (or as I call them, protestants) committed. I would rather concentrate on the young tyke himself.

The kid is 12 (supposed to be 13 to have the BM (violation of my faith #1). So, I shouldnt be too judgmental. He has had it tough in some ways, having jewish mother or jewish mothers is hard on anyone.

Still, the kid is annoying. I dont think it is normal for the adults to stand in the back during the ceremony and trash the kid. The kid hugs too much, talks too much, is too cocky, too emotional, just too jewy older woman, but actually a 12 yr old boy. Not sure how I would not have been a complete jerk to the entire fam without the help of mr adams light and sir 7 and 7.


The weekend pushed back the birth of garyetta at least 12 years.
