Three bubbes sitting on a park bench. The first one lets out a heartfelt "Oy!" A few minutes later, the second bubbe sighs deeply and says "Oy vey!" A few minutes after that, the third lady brushes away a tear and moans, "Oy veyizmir!" To which the first bubbe replies: "I thought we agreed we weren't going to talk about our children!" |
