Here’s a story I just remembered.

My friend was talking about her experience with having a Jewish dad and a Catholic mom. An acquaintance of hers asks, “Oh, you’re half Jewish too?” My friend confirms, to which her acquaintance replies, “My step-dad is Jewish, so that makes me half Jewish!”

Sigh. People.
