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.

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]

At that age, I probably would have said "yuck" to a pork hot dog, but I don't think I would have noticed if it was in a meatball. (This bothers me about most commercial vegetarian hot dogs -- they're all spiced to taste like pork hot dogs, since that's what most people grew up eating, but I grew up on Hebrew National and Sabrett's and, when I want a comfort food hot dog, I want one that tastes like processed beef parts, not processed pork parts. There's only one brand that tastes right, and it's nearly impossible to find in stores, even around NYC.)

The parents didn't know. Basically, did they tell the child his/her innards had been porked?

OMG, I did not know that you can make custom someecards!

...that was custom, right?

Me, I can't stand anything but turkey hot dogs anymore.
