What follows is a real life e-mail exchange among my wonderful sisters and I earlier this evening. I have altered nothing except our real names and e-mail addresses and the order of the e-mails for easier reading.

Nice. My apartment doorbell rang, and since I'm expecting a delivery,
I opened the door with the chain still hooked to see who it was, and a
man tried to push the door open. We struggled so hard that my knee got
scraped from the door as I tried to push it shut and lock it.
The cops are in my building looking for him.
Surprisingly, it was a white jewish man around sixtyish who did it.

Looks like he wanted to show you his matzo balls.

In Sister J.'s defense, she called me immediately after I e-mailed it, and was quite shooken up. Then, to brother-in-law A's credit, he came up with the matzo ball comment in the background, as he heard us wonder about what the guy would have done if he got in. And just you wait, I'll e-mail you the ending of the story later today...
So who's who in the cartoon picture? The black animal is clearly you, looking away from his sisters and acting like he doesn't know them due to embarassment. The dopey green character is Sister J. And I'm the little baby angel! It looks like us at church when we were younger.
All's well that ends well. I think you nailed the characterizations too. Say hi to Saphet for me.
