Sad, Sweet, Hilarious Voicemail From Jewish Grandma to Gay Grandson: “Don’t Go to Sochi!


A family member recently forwarded me this deliriously wonderful voicemail that a gay friend had gotten from his very much in-character Jewish bubbe. The friend in question, who wants to maintain his and his grandma’s anonymity for personal reasons, posted the voicemail on his Tumblr, along with this message:

Grandma keeps abreast of gay rights news and has some cautionary words about a potential trip to Russia for Sochi. Heartwarming waking up to this voicemail. A testament to the cultural divide. BTW, I returned the phone call.

Aw, so sweet.



But as you say very very sad as well
