GOT SOME CHANGE?

     I recently met a Jewish mother who told me that whille her children are religiously observant, she definitely is not.
     "Neither am I," I told her.  "But I've changed the way I do some things out of respect for my sons' beliefs."
     "They know better than to ask me to do things their way," she said.  "If they don't accept me the way I am, who needs them?  Their wives wear skirts, but I won't.  My house isn't kosher, but they still visit.  So why should I do anything different?"
      "Because you're the parent," I wanted to say. "Why not meet them half-way?  It has to do with love and respect.  Some day your kids might have enough of your way and might give up on you."
