you're insane!

Jewish Europeans are insane.... like INSANE.  They are really funny about worrying their loved ones.  Therefore, they don't talk about anything.  If you are sick, or lose a job, or even if someone dies, we have a hard time telling other people because we don't want to upset them.  

For example, when I was about 9 or 10 my cat died, and my grandpa tried to keep it from me, because he thought I could go about life not noticing.... this is a true story

Curb your Enthusiasm has depicted this phenomenon perfectly

enjoy!
