The year is
2016 and the United
States has elected
the first woman as well as the first Jewish president, Susan Goldfarb.
She calls up her mother a few weeks after election-day and says, 'So, Mom, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?'
'I don't think
so. It's a ten hour drive, your father isn't as young as he used to be, and my
arthritis is acting up again.'
'Don't worry
about it Mom, I'll send Ai r Force One to pick you up and take you home. And a
limousine will pick you up at your door.'
'I don't know.
Everybody will be so fancy-schmantzy – what on earth would I
wear?'
'Oh Mom,’
replies Susan. 'I'll make sure you have a wonderful gown, custom-made, by the
best designer in New
York
.'
'Honey,' Mom
complains, 'you know I can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to
eat.'
The
President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Mom. The entire affair is going to be
handled by the best caterer in New
York – kosher all
the way. Mom, I really want you to come.'
So Mom
reluctantly agrees and on January 20,
2017, Susan
Goldfarb is being sworn in as President of the United
States.
In the front
row sits the new President's mother, who leans over to a senator sitting next to
her. 'You see that woman over there, with her hand on the Torah, becoming
President of the United
States?'
The Senator
whispers back, 'Yes I do.'
Mom says
proudly, 'Her brother is a
doctor.'
