A weekend of matzah and gefilte fish and awkward family banter = Passover. Somehow the conversation is always about diseases or Nazis. Oh and they told me I was not leaving their house until I played piano for them, and would i please play billy joel... i obliged them with some Elvis instead.
What is gefilte fish? ..an amalgamation of 3rd rate fishes (carp, etc.) ground up and made into a patty, floating in irridescent goop.
I actually like it.
Whenever i go to these family dinners, I really do care about everyone, but i just feel totally out of place. It's hard for me to come up with things to say or to not get annoyed at the awkward questions asked of me. I do really care for them all but I have very few ways of relating to them. And i know they think i'm strange. But somehow the meal and all its courses keeps everything moving along and before you know it, you're awkwardly saying goodbye to the people you just awkwardly said hello to. Family is funny.
