We were staked out on River St at 7:30 a.m. waiting and watching to see if John left. Bob was determined that we would try to get Mom to come with us in car for a talk. Detective was poised up the road at Deli by phone booth that john normally goes to.We all had our cell phones. About 8a.m. we called the neighbor (barbara) and went inside her house to watch from there, our car hidden by her hedges. At 9a.m. John finally comes out gets in truck but moves it back into the driveway. 9:15, truck leaves but this time he has Mom w/ him. We call detective, he follows them. John drops off Mom at hairdressers and immediately leaves and goes to a different pay phone @ Scott’s corner’s old A& P. Detective calls us. We drive out there and thru parking lot, he’s still there on phone. (9:29am -10am) Detective across the road w/ telephoto lens snapping pics. I took one too from 50 ft away myself. Bob and i drive up to hairdressers (happens to be a girl i know that used to do real estate). Mom is in the chair. We went inside and said hello. Told mom we really needed to talk her,alone, when could we see her. she said they had plans for later but that we could pick her up at 11:30 am. I asked her where was John. she said he’s home or maybe having coffeee w/ “boys”. (town employees and old village men) he’s picking me up at 10:30. We said ok, we’ll pick you up at 11:30. She was perplexed but willing to hear us out.
We left and drove by phone just as John was hanging up. We followed him into montgomery where he did go and meet the “boys” for coffee. We went to see Detectives at their office in town.
P.I.’s were printing out big 8×10′s of pics they had just snapped. We asked detective to be nearby in case John got suspicious and tried to keep us from taking Mom . We all met at mom’s house at 11:30. she was outside in front yard waiting for us. John was innocently raking the lawn. We said nothing to him, helped mom into car and left. Detective was following us. We went to their parking lot and bob started to briefly explain everything. He was crying big tears, pouring out his heart, begging her to please listen to what detectives had. She said she would. so we took her into their office, Scott and Joe laid it out for her and showed her the pics, let her read some of the transcripts. she was shocked but slowly was seeing the truth. She was very quiet but took it all in. she had a few questions, one being that “but he’s been impotent.” “we’ve been to urologist many times and he always refuses those prescriptiions…” Detective said,” well, m’am, maybe he was and maybe he wasn’t, pills do lots of things” (he read her part of the viagra referenced transcript but left out the parts that he said “made experienced NYC detectives blush”.) We read them day before and it is really bad. We had asked them not to embarrass her with the graphic details. Finally about noon she said i have to go. (she had to fix john’s lunch)
We walked her out to car. she said she was shocked and didn’t know what to do. “What do you kids want me to do?” We told her,” Mom tell him to stop. you deserve to know the truth, he’s been lying to you, humiliating you, the whole town knows, it’s not right , you deserve better. You can confront him, or ignore the whole thing, up to you, we’ll support your decision.” She said she definitely would “confront him, and would like to try and work it out .” We asked if she was sure she felt ok to tell him alone. she said yes. she had to think about it. We told her to call us, we’d wait to hear from her. We dropped her off, she said this “gloria is a flirt and chases after everyone’s husband” i said “but not all the husband’s return the attention, John did” To my surprise she said,” then he’s stupid.” We told her we missed her. THE END ???????

Jewish Haiku

After the warm rain

the sweet smell of camellias.

Did you wipe your feet?

****

Her lips near my ear,

Aunt Sadie whispers the name

of her friend’s disease.

*****

Today I am a man.

Tomorrow I will return

to the seventh grade.

****

Testing the warm milk

on her wrist, she sighs softly.

But her son is forty.

*****

The sparkling blue sea

reminds me to wait an hour

after my sandwich.

*****

Lacking fins or tail

the gefilte fish swims with

great difficulty.

*****

Like a bonsai tree,

your terrible posture

at my dinner table.

****

Beyond Valium,

the peace of knowing one’s child

is an internist.

*****

Jews on safari –

map, compass, elephant gun,

hard sucking candies.

*****

The same kimono

the top geishas are wearing:

I got it at Loehmann’s.

*****

The shivah visit:

So sorry about your loss.

Now back to my problems.

*****

Mom, please! There is no

need to put that dinner roll

in your pocketbook.

*****

Seven-foot Jews in

the NBA slam-dunking!

My alarm clock rings.

*****

Sorry I’m not home

to take your call. At the tone

please state your bad news.

*****

Is one Nobel Prize

so much to ask from a child

after all I’ve done?

*****

Today, mild shvitzing.

Tomorrow, so hot you’ll plotz.

Five-day forecast: feh

*****

Passover

left the door open

for the Prophet Elijah.

Now our cat is gone.

*****

Yenta. Shmeer. Gevalt.

Shlemiel. Shlimazl. Meshuganah

Oy! To be fluent!

*****

Quietly murmured

at Saturday services,

Yanks 5, Red Sox 3.

*****

A lovely nose ring,

excuse me while I put my

head in the oven.

Hard to tell under the lights.

White Yarmulke or

male-pattern baldness.
