Remember back in 2011 when Obama had GOP members over for dinner, and he served so many peas that the republicans made him eat their servings, and a bunch of cartoonists argued about who made whom eat peas?
what the fuck
Legit, I was reading through these comics like “ are the peas supposed to represent the issues in our country?”, then you fuckin tell me “nah bro Obama just served a lot of peas at dinner.”. You have to be joking.
Did I ever tell you guys the story of how I got a letter from President Obama on my 13th birthday?
No, please share
Okay, so when Jewish boys/girls turn thirteen, they have a ceremony called a bar/bat mitzvah. It’s a way to symbolize that we have become a young man/young woman, and it’s a big rite of passage for us.
At the time of my bat mitzvah, my uncle, who serves in the navy, had a job at the white house (one time he gave me and my family a tour, but that’s a story for another day). So, he worked at the white house, and it’s not like he was hanging out with the president all the time or anything spectacular, but he did know my uncle by his first name, so that was cool and important.
Anyways, a little while after my bat mitzvah and my 13th birthday, I received this in the mail:
At first I was already like, “whaaa??” My parents didn’t seem to know what it was about either. So I opened it, and, lo and behold:
along with:
So…yeah. My uncle was able to get the former president of the united states to send me a letter congratulating me on my bat mitzvah when I turned 13. Hope you enjoyed my story!
