Two Jewish mothers met up for their regular weekly chat. One said: "Before we go any further, I have good news and bad news to impart." "Tell me the bad news," said the other. "My Joshua phoned last night to tell me he's gay." "Oh my! How terrible for you – and after all that you've done for that boy! But you mustn't blame yourself, you've been a wonderful mother. Now tell me the good news." "He's marrying a doctor."
