| "They're from Ancestry.com." "The shtetl claims you owe back taxes." "They just made it here from Anatevka." "Do we have any kopeks?" "I found your birth parents." "You're gonna need a bigger float." "Can they stay until Tashlich?" "It's finally happened—our past has caught up with us." "So how do you like their canned slivovitz?" "You're not impressing them with our suffering." "They assert a rightful claim to your grandmother's samovar." "Forget the barbecue. We'll all have boiled chicken." "They need our help assimilating." "Why do they keep chanting l'dor vador?" |
