Norman and Phyllis were my parents and, well, they were crazy. Growing up with them was like being on The Norman and Phyllis Show, a bad sitcom the producers forgot to cancel.
They were the uncrowned royalty of the Chicago restaurant scene, where Norman taught Mexican waiters broken Yiddish and was a member of The Golden Tipper’s Club. They had to go to restaurants. Phyllis was a terrible cook.
Between Norman telling Barack Obama during a campaign stop in Chicago that he had seen him naked in a health club locker room, and Phyllis talking incessantly about her bowel movements, there was no way I could have turned out normal.
Phyllis stocked the fridge with enough prune juice for a nuclear war, but I needed something stiffer to survive. After talking to medical specialists, I learned that insanity is, in fact, hereditary.
For years, I thought the job of parents was to embarrass their kids in public. Then I went into therapy and learned otherwise. It was called love.
It was still hard work raising my parents. But I think they turned out alright. This is their story. The story of The Norman and Phyllis Show.
