“What can I tell you, Perri, it was definitely not Our Type of people”
“HI, Perri, how are you?” It was Mommy Weiss on the phone. From the background noise, it sounded like she was in the car. That meant plenty of time to schmooze.
Supper was already cooking and the kids weren’t home yet. What could Perri do to keep busy? Right, there was that bag of tablecloths that someone had just returned to her gemach. She liked to refold each one before putting them away — you could never trust people to fold them right.
“Baruch Hashem, we’re doing great,” she told Mommy Weiss. “How’s everything over there?”
Mommy Weiss sighed. “America is going down the drain, what can I tell you. Did you see what AOC said yesterday? Forget about a closet communist, she’s starting to sound like Stalin! It’s unbelievable that anyone could still be pushing socialist ideals. I mean, we adults saw Cuba and Venezuela fall apart. We know it doesn’t work.”
