My story involves being invited to Thanksgiving dinner at a kosher home,
a friend from school's. I'm Jewish, but we never kept kosher. You'd
think I would have known, but ... After dinner the hostess asked the
guests if they'd like coffee or tea. I asked for a glass of milk. I
thought her surprised statement about how I could drink milk after all
that turkey had to do with the way I was still drinking milk at the age
of 16, an age when most teenagers would have begun drinking coffee like
the grown-ups.


She brought me a glass of white liquid and told me it was Cremora in
water. I thought "yech," and wondered how I could get out of drinking
it. Then she caught my eye behind her husband's back and pointed to the
milk container as she put it back in the refrigerator.


I gotta love a lady who would violate the rules in her own home to serve
a guest and smooth over an awkward teenager's faux pas.
