You can’t read this first bullet point without laughing out loud. Leave it to a Jewish mother to show a Tiger mother how it’s done:
Here are some of the things that my four children of a Jewish mother were always allowed to do:
- Quit the piano and the violin, especially if their defeatist attitude coincided with a recital, thus saving me from the torture of listening to other people’s precious children soldier through hackneyed pieces of the juvenile repertoire, plink after ever more unbearable plonk.
Read it all. It’s wonderful.
