Posted on May 5, 2013 by Jill Foer Hirsch

Have A Laugh On Me. Please.

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Jill Foer Hirsch

You know what’s funny?  No?  Neither does Dan.  He is by far my toughest audience.  He tends to sit quietly while I laugh at my own jokes.  How pathetic does that make me? My millions (upon millions) of adoring fans … Continue reading →

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Jill Foer Hirsch

Kids: Don’t Try This At Home

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Jill Foer Hirsch

Before we got to eat bagel and lox on Sundays, we had to go to Sunday school.  Given my choice between medieval torture and Sunday school…I’m really not certain what I would choose.  The whole thing was just a nightmare.  … Continue reading →
