Reply To: drinking out of a bottle

my mom told me the story about a mother -in -law -to- be who saw the future daughter-in -law come in from a hot,long walk and drink from a bottle. she called off the shidduch. what astounded my mom is that this happened in 1945 to survivors of Auschwitz. and my mom couldn’t get over the fact that after surviving Hitler’s death camps this woman would care about drinking out of the bottle. i felt bad for the girl who had spent the previous 6 years suffering under the Nazis. but obviously that was the type of upbringing the mother in law wanted. my mom and i both agreed that the girl was better off without such a critical mother-in -law. don’t know if we were right or not
