Pre Funeral Arrangements

[phkrause]

Adella Steinfeld was nearing the end of her long life. Her daughter Malka took the opportunity to discuss many things, including how Mrs. Steinfeld envisioned her last days, and even her funeral.

"Oh, honey," Mrs. Steinfeld said, "I really don’t care about the details."

Later Mrs. Steinfeld woke from a nap and grasped her daughter’s hand. Malka leaned forward, and Mrs. Steinfeld said urgently, "Just whatever you do, don’t invite Cousin Arlene.”
