 Jewish
grandmother satisfied with family's level of attention
FORT LAUDERDALE -- Jewish grandmother Sonia Feinbaum announced
today that she is perfectly happy with the attention she
is receiving from her two sons, two daughters and five grandchildren.
"My son Peter was here earlier changing lightbulbs,
fixing the toilet handle and showing me again how to un-mute
the television," Mrs. Feinbaum said. "My twin
granddaughters have each sent two letters and a postcard
and called twice since arriving at college last week, and
my eldest girl, Naomi, just got here to play mahjong and
help me sort my pictures."
Mrs. Feinbaum said all four of her children telephone twice
a day, while her grandchildren call punctually every Wednesday
and Sunday at 6 p.m. and take her to at least three early-bird
restaurant meals a week.
"They are always saying 'tell us about how you met
grandpa at the dance marathon' or 'how are your bunions
holding up?'" she said. "They always ask for my
homemade pickle juice."
Mrs. Feinbaum said she is very pleased with the new speed-dial
function her family installed on her rotary phone, which
is preprogrammed with their cell phone numbers and even
those of her "devoted" daughters-in-law. She has
not run out of gefilte fish, she said, once in nine years.
"Sometimes I wonder if maybe they should find other
things to do," she said. "I'm an old lady, after
all. How interesting can I be to them?"
