Jewish Jeremy

From an actual conversation I had a few months ago. Because once strep throat season is upon us, the only grown-ups ShallowGal gets to talk to in person are pediatricians and pharmacists. And the guy at the liquor store. And nobody wants to hear those conversations.

ShallowGal: How was your trip to Greece?

Neighbor: Amazing. We went with this great group from Randall's school, all nice kids. One in particular, Jeremy. Hey, he's Jewish, maybe you know him.

SG: Jeremy?

Neighbor: Yeah, he keeps kosher so I guess he's probably Jewish. I don't remember where he said he lives but he goes to TJ so somewhere around here.

SG: Oh. Of course. Jewish Jeremy from Northern Virginia. Everyone knows him.

Neighbor: See I figured as much. Nice kid. Wait, are you fucking with me?

SG: Well, yeah. Just cause we're both Jewish doesn't mean. . . . (all of a sudden SG remembers Jake's girlfriend's brother is named Jeremy, keeps kosher and goes to TJ ) Jeremy Kringlehoff? (1)

Neighbor: Yes.

SG: Yeah, I know him. Good kid.

Neighbor: I figured as much. Hey, what's Barbara Streisand like in person?

SG: She's nice. (2)

1) Obviously his name isn't Jeremy Kringlehoff. Nobody is named Jeremy Kringlehoff. Seriously. ShallowGal googled it and nada. So, bonus! SG should,as of tomorrow, be the #1 hit on google for Jeremy Kringlehoff.
2) Ok, maybe she didn't ask that. But it makes for a way better story. Don't make me have to resort to liquor guy stories.
