is what JJ said to Auntie Carrie on Saturday, the Sabbath of all things, at Crossroads Delicatessen.
Jude had been given one of those 4 count coloring packs and a placemat to draw on with the kiddie menu, the same one you see at most restaurants these days. Jude was sort of half using them, not too interested, more interested in Aunty Carrie's pockets on her jacket.
"Can I see one of your crayons, Jude?" Aunty Carrie asked.
NO!!!
Why not? They're so pretty! Can I just see the yellow one?
NO!!!
Why not?
Because you're not Jewish.
Huh? Where'd THAT come from?
Did JJ even know we were in a Deli? No.
Does he even know he is Jewish? Well, yes, turns out.
Does he know I'm Jewish? He had to ask me.
