Boopkie, it’s your mothuh. I need to know if you’re coming for dinner tonight so I know how many latke’s to order from the kitchen. They took away my cooking privileges after the small oven fire. They act like I’m unable to care for myself these days. I’ve lived a long life, I should be able to cook latkes for my favorite son. These gentile’s they don’t know how to do it right. Always getting the mix wrong some how. OH! I don’t know what to do about this, I’ve complained and complained, but the staff just won’t listen. Boopkie, I need you to talk to-
Beeeeep
Joshua, your phone hung up on me. I don’t know what I did wrong, but as I was saying, those gentiles don’t know how to cook latke’s. I need you to talk to the staff about giving me back my cooking privileges. One little oven fire and they act like it’s the worst thing in the world. I don’t know what’s wrong with them. Oh! Your fathah had a good day today. He asked after you and wanted to know when you were coming by. I told him you were supposed to be here for dinner but that I would call and make sure you were still coming. So are you still-
Beeeeep
I sweah, Boopkie, there must be something wrong with your phone. It keeps hanging up on me. Call me back, Boopkie, I need to know your answer.
Thirty minutes later.
Beeeeep
Boopkie Beah? You haven’t called your muthah back about dinner. I worry when I don’t hear from you, Boopkie. Did something happen at the office? Were you hit on your bike on the way home? Did you catch your death of cold walking around everywhere. This isn’t like New York, Boopkie, you can’t just walk from one place to another, things aren’t that close here. Which reminds me, I have a hair appointment next week with Linda. She’s absolutely magic when it comes to setting my curls. I couldn’t ask for a better stylist than her. She was ask-
Beeeeep
I see you haven’t fixed your phone yet either. Boopkie, are you avoiding your mothah? Do you KNOW how big your head was when I gave birth to you? You’re breakin’ my heat, Boopkie. My soul weeps with the knowledge that you’re ignoring my calls. Your own mothah! Who labored for what felt like yeahs to birth you. To bring you into this world and raise you as only mothah could.
Thirty minutes later.
Beeeeep
Joshua Bernstein you call your mothah this very minute!
Ten minutes later.
Beeeeep
Joshua? Boopkie? Are you there?
Five minutes later.
Beeeeep
And ask that nice young man, Sean to come to dinner too. I like him. He always listens to your mothah. A thing you could learn to do. You aren't so old that I can't take you over my knee and teach you to respect your elders! You were raised a good boy, you know how to behave.

A few notes from Mama B's history:
-Born in Pasadena, California
-Moved to New York at three
-Only child to a Mother who breed dogs and a Father who worked in printing.
-Bat mitzvah.
-Well educated.
-Posed nude for a set of playing cards for the "boys over seas" during the war.
-Welded during the war to "do her part"
-Met Robert "Bobby" Bernstein at a benefit dance, he'd come over from Germany, but she was engaged to another man currently fighting with the boys over seas.
-Got word that her fiance had been killed in action.
-Period of mourning.
-Friendship with Bobby grew ever stronger until it blossomed into love.
-Married.
-Children.
-Lots of protest stuff and political issues.
-Children go to college
-Loss of mother and father with only a few months between the two.
-Emma gets married.
-Matthew gets married.
-Joshua graduates for the final time. Mama B couldn't be prouder.
-Grandbabies!
-General living of life with lots of happiness, joy, and growing older.
-Bobby's Alzheimer's begins to show.
-Moved to Vermont by Josh to an assisted living home where they have a nice apartment and all the healthcare they could want. It's quite like a spa.
-Unaware of Joshua's sexual orientation because of her own misunderstandings about the "choice" of such an act. In spite of her very liberal bent, she thinks homosexuality is a sin before God, and while it's not exactly normal to have those feelings, acting on them is a grievous error. She is under the impression that all homosexuals act and dress in an insane manner (think modern Pride Parade behavior). This may have been changed earlier on if someone had explained things to her rather than allowing propaganda to take root. It's just a phase, and if counseled and guided properly, those within the phase can come through it without much harm done to their reputation.
-Suffers from Macular Degeneration, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but doesn't wear her glasses like she's supposed to.Behind the M A S K . . .Name: The great and powerful Urchacha! Or… just Urchin will do
