I just broke it to Maia that the story of our huge Italian heritage was a lie. She immediately wanted to know how I was going to break it to FB! Well... According to DNA we are not Italian. Like not even a little bit. I mean, ok, a little bit. Like we are as much Italian as we are Asian and Neanderthal and Subsaharan African. Like less than 4 percent. In the 90s Maia did this cute illustration when she was in 1st grade ... when asked to draw her heritage and she made a Gypsy Pilgrim. Well, she was right. We are Gypsy, Irish, Ashkenazi. This also makes us feel kinda bad about Eves last request for passover. I said, Mom, first of all, were not Jewish. She said, L.A. in the 1940s! You never know! I said, Ok. are we Jewish? She said, No. So we took her word for it. And we made Easter brunch. And she died on us. And we buried her hispanic in New Mexico. But back to Maias question as to how we shall break it to FB: Gypsy. Irish. Jew. You. Maia. Sorry for the confusion.
