The laying on of hands for the "birthday prayer"
The persistence of my aunt in trying to convince me to go on a blind date
The interrogation of my church-going practices: "Were you in church on Sunday? When was the last time you were in church? This year, sometime?"
Joking about gambling, particularly the discussion of the buffet at the casino
That my aunt -- the one asking when I'd last been in church, and trying to set me up with a church boy -- thinks the Jewish tradition of bar mitzvahs are "beautiful and deep"
That the same aunt spent about a minute trying to remember my last name, and also asked when Tyler's wedding would be (it happened in April)
