I think Laibel is a bit too rough around the edges for perfect Mimmy. Yossi would probably have a more stellar reputation. And considering Mimmy is an only child--I'm sure her parents wanted only the best! LOL

Well, my girls feel that Simmy is the very sensitive one, so she would need Yossi....

But the one with the $$$ wins out, huh?

Loved this, a reminder of my childhood mixed with a good dose of adult humor. Thanks for posting!

Wow this is great, I love Leibel trying to forge his own identity. Really laughed out loud there.

What happened to Yossi and Laibels little sister? Although I guess we don't hear about Simmy's six siblings either.

Also, I always figured Yossi and Laible were Lubavitchers like their creator. Shame they fell off the derech!

My dd & I both enjoyed it over Shabbos. We spent part of Seuda Shlishi explaining both families and this story to DH.

Haha, I also laughed out loud when I read it on Shabbos and spent a good twenty minutes trying to explain to DH. Don't think he really got it though Can't Believe It

Only part I didn't understand: what is Elmway??

Spoiler alert: Loved the line 'hope you're ok with peanut butter and jelly for shabbos, b/c I already sold the spices' LOL

And Elmway has featured in other stories.
Prediction: Yossi and Label's sister is in seminary and will marry Mimi's brother.
