A Yiddishe mame, how can you not answer the phone? Years ago I was working an ER shift in my home town so I came in the night before and stayed with my parents, a"h. My mother asked me if I'd brought lunch for the shift and I explained that I didn't because it's non-stop for 8 hours without a lunch break so I brought lots of snacks. She didn't like that - one must each lunch, so she made me a little bagged lunch. The next morning I left early to work and left the lunch behind because I wouldn't have time to eat it. Around 11 am, a nurse came up to me holding a familiar brown bag. "Your mom just stopped by, told us you forgot your lunch and to make sure you ate it." A Yiddishe mame
