Happy Mother’s Day, All! Anyone else have their kids routinely tell them to please not be so “mother-ish”? Yeah, well it comes with the territory.
For this week’s Sunday Funnies, by beloved fellow type 1 artist Haidee Merritt, something that for some reason reminded me of Jewish mothers the world over…

Don’t laugh! I was RAISED with “Natalie, don’t eat that, you’ll get diabetes!” And when I was diagnosed at age 43 (after thinking I was home free, because my mother never got it and died at age 80), all I could hear were the voices saying “I told you so!” in spite of the fact that I was never obese, and never more than 10-15 lb. overweight. That cartoon sort of struck too close to home, and I’m Jewish, too!
