I used to tease my Jewish-and-didn't-eat-pork roommate that kosher laws aren't pick'n'choose.

If s/he was Reform, yes they are. Choosing which parts of traditional Jewish law to observe based on what's meaningful to you as an individual is pretty much the core of Reform Judaism.

In Cash's case, it was an honest mistake and so I think a simple apology is all that's necessary. But this:

They obvs don't keep totally kosher

Is completely irrelevant, and not up to a third party to decide.

What Jess said.

Cool! I've got some that were too worn to donate anywhere.

Those are the perfect kind, Aurelia. They will get a new life this way.

Oh man. K just got the sick that I had yesterday. I hope Noah doesn't get it.

Like I said in the next paragraph, he was just being a pain in the ass. I assure you. He wasn't Reform, his entire practice of Judaism was that he just didn't want pepperoni when we ordered pizza. Like I also said in the next paragraph, I've since known other people who observe in different ways. It's fascinating.

I'm not going to send it, but I made it anyway.

It made me laugh, Cash.

It made me laugh also.

Does the kiddo even know s/he ate pork? It was in ball form after all.

That card is awesome, and perhaps could only be improved with the addition of a cartoon pig: [link]
