Dad: don't you want a nice Shabbos meal at home?
me: sure. a nice thai shabbos meal at home.
Dad: tsmah is fine with me!
me: is that thai in hebrew?
Dad: thai shabbos meal at home. I thought you knew text-speak!
me: hahaha oh, no im not as hip as you apparently. although, funny story- i referred to you today as 'papadukes' to my boss. he totally didn't get it
Dad: ok, so now you can explain it to me!
me: papadukes? youre papadukes and mom is mamadukes. he thought that meant your name was duke
Dad: "I believe it refers to your parents as in, "my old man, I wouldn't mess with him". Like, don't mess with ol' papa dukes. " From the Urban Dictionary. Is that it?
me: hahaa without the badass connotations, sure
Dad: well get this -- Grandma reported tonight that your cousin Maris discovered that Grandpa's Hebrew name is not MordHersh, as he always believed, but ... MordDukes! For real!
me: HAHAHAHA YES!
Dad: Jewish win!
