Parents

I loved Jerry's parents, as per, but I'm interested in something....

do any of you a.t.s'ers have parents remotely like Jerry's, and if so,

how do you keep from killing them and leaving their bodies to rot?

Obviously, you have not spent much time in South Florida. I have lived here for almost 20 years of my adult life, and there are many people here just like Jerry's parents and their friends. That's why I find the episode so hysterical.

My parents live in a retirement condo complex down here, and they think that episode is a scream. Actually, they're not quite like Jerry's parents, but some of there neighbors are.

Like Jerry, I was raised in New York and my parents have subsequently gone on to South Florida. In fact my parents are in many ways like Jerry's. It's the whole Jewish retired folks commonality. Coping with it isn't too hard, because, well, that's the household I was raised in. It's the same kind of household a lot of kids were raised in. We wind up being kind of like Jerry, both in our approach to the parents as well as, hopefully, our sense of humor. It's the kids that don't have the sense of humor that wind up leaving the family. So the bottom line is -- you learn to live with it.

sorry mitch, but i think complaining/whining as you get older is universal over many, many cultures... that's what happens when you have alot of free time on your hands AND you think you know more or have more experience than others...

I am positive that if you asked Jerry himself he would say that his parents were supposed to make fun of the typical, jewish parent/grandparent. Trust me, I am jewish, and his parents are exactly like some of my relatives. Contrast Jerry's parents and George's mom with the non-Jewish (no double-dipping) family. Jeff Miller
