The Shidduch Date

Yankel went on his first shidduch date, and his parents were eager to hear how it went. “Nu? How was she?” asked his mother.

“Well,” said Yankel, “she was nice, but very quiet.”

“Quiet is good,” said his father. “Did she say anything?”

“Not really,” Yankel admitted. “She just sat there and kept staring at her watch.”

His mother’s face lit up. “Oh! She was thinking about how time flies when you’re having fun!”

Yankel shook his head. “No, Totty. I think she was checking to see if it stopped!”
