any other jew-ish guys got a grandma who's like, really weird about it, or is that another hyperspecific life experience of mine
#txt#it's like. I didn't know my great grandparents. but my mom sure did#so i know enough things like that they were 100% ashkenazi conservative Jews who fled from Poland in the 1910s thereabouts#before they had my granma#but my granma somehow CONVINCED herself that her mother was lying about being born Jewish#and then a few years ago this became completely factually incorrect for 2 reasons: some aunts found some of my gg's records#and like yeah. yeah. her and great grandpa were definitely both from Jewish families.#and also my microbiologist sister was like im gonna get a dna test for funsies#and lo! she is about 25% Ashkenazi. i know those things are hit or miss really but there is no way a percentage that large is just bullshit#and my granma threw a whole fit. crying about it during dinner. and we're all just sitting there like. awkwardly#i do not know for certain why she is like this but i imagine it has something to do with her parents disowning her when she married#since great grandpa was Not Jewish. and then they only reinstated her when she got pregnant the first time#after she agreed to raise her kids Jewish#and she did make good on that! my mom and aunts and uncle all grew up going to the same conservative synagogue#my mom loved her rabbi apparently#but yeah as soon as she could granma fucked off and moved to England (she was divorced by then iirc) and she's been mad weird#about us being Jewish for my whole life#kudos to ya if u read all these oversharing tags lmao#whoops i meant to say grandpa wasn't Jewish in that earlier tag not great grandpa sorry
