Sharon lives in an apartment building. One afternoon, she starts to worry because she hasn’t heard anything for days from the elderly widow who lives next door.
So Sharon says to her son Paul, “Bubbeleh, be a good boy. Go and find out how old Mrs. Himmelfarb is.”
A few minutes later, Paul returns.
“Nu?” asks Sharon, “Is she OK?”
“She’s fine mom, but she’s quite angry with you,” replies Paul.
“Angry with me?” says Sharon, “What has she got to be angry about?”
“Well,” says Paul, “she said, ‘it’s none of your business how old she is.’”
