Today, at a family Seder, (a Jewish service for Passover), my mom served matzah balls during the festive meal. Considering how much I love matzah balls and there aren't many options for me to eat because I'm a vegetarian, I shouted, "I like really big balls!" in front of my entire family. FML

Today, we went up for visitor's day for my son's Jewish summer camp. We don't keep kosher, but most of his fellow campers do. When we went around in the circle saying our favorite foods, he said, "My mom makes the best pork chops." We got dirty looks for the rest of the day. FML

Today, when I told my family I was a vegetarian, I expected them to make fun of me because that's just my family. But what I wasn't expecting was my dad to use raw meat as a puppet and make it say, "Eat me! Eat me!" then throw it at my face. FML

Happy Birthday

Today, my family asked where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner. They shot down my every suggestion and decided on sushi. I'm allergic, so the only thing I could eat was a veggie appetizer. Dad said I need to "expand my palate." FML

Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML

Today, my Jewish boyfriend came over for my extended family's Easter party. My grandmother made fun of him for being Jewish so badly, that he left, crying. She doesn't see what she did wrong. FML

The best day of your life

Today, my mom told me she is serving lasagna and Italian cream cake at my bridal shower. I'm severely lactose intolerant, which I have been telling her for years. She responded by telling me, and I quote, "The food is for the guests." FML

Today, I was chatting with my mother. She was telling me about some new mouthwash she recently got, and the moment the word "gargle" escaped her lips, my husband muttered just a little too loudly from the kitchen, "How about gargling my balls instead, bitch." Our family is now at war. FML

Today, my sister had her batmitzvah. During the party, there is a tradition where the batmitzvah gets lifted on a chair, and so does her family. It was my turn after my sister's. I got in the chair. They couldn't lift me. FML

Uhm.. why did you shout that? Besides, matzo ball soup (at least at my seder) has chicken in it, and is served in broth, so it isn't a very vegetarian option..

Not all matzah ball soup has chicken broth in it. And not all matzah ball soup is made from a can or a box mix.

Some people mean 'vegetarian' as they don't eat red meat, but eat poultry and fish.

In my family there would be the turning of heads, sarcastic comments and giggling, lots of giggling -.- Seders and brunch and bar/bat mitzvas are always fun

This is really bad. I agree, your life is F***ED because I bet this happens fairly often. I still don't get what made him put 'big' in front.

I like big balls and I cannot lie. The whole family can't deny. When the matzah balls are on the table I know that I'm able to EAT!

@ #1 My mom definitely makes hers vegetarian (doesn't use chicken fat, doesn't use chicken broth, etc) so it's definitely possible that OP's mom does the same for him.

He said "big" as its one of the few things he can eat, therefore he wants lots or big ones.

yeah this really isn't an FML. they all knew what you were talking about, plus why would you even put "big" in front of it? I think this is probably made up...
