You know you grew up Jewish when...

Published: 18 December 2013 | Written by David Minkoff

You did not respond to the teacher calling roll on the first day of school because you thought your name was "Princess."
You spent your entire childhood thinking that everyone calls roast beef "brisket."
Your family dog responds to complaints uttered in Yiddish.
Every Sunday afternoon of your childhood was spent visiting your grandparents.
You were as tall as your grandmother by age seven.
You never knew anyone whose last name didn't end in one of 6 standard suffixes (-man, -witz, -berg, -stein, -blatt or -baum)
You can look at gefilte fish without turning green.
You grew up thinking there was a fish called lox.
You can understand some Yiddish but you can't speak it.
You know how to pronounce numerous Yiddish words and use them correctly in context, yet you don't exactly know what they mean.
You grew up thinking it was normal for someone to shout "Are you okay? Are you okay?" through the bathroom door if you were in there for longer than 3 minutes.
You have at least six male relatives named Michael or David.
