A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancé to meet them. After a nice dinner, the father invites the guy to his library for a drink.
“So what are your plans?,” the father asks the young man.
“I am a Torah scholar.” He says.
“A Torah scholar,” the father says. “Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter?”
“I will study,” the young man says, “and God will provide for us.”
“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring?”
“I will concentrate on my studies, God will provide for us.”
“And children?,” asks the father. “How will you support children?”
“Don’t worry, sir, God will provide”.
The conversation continues like this. Each time the father questions, the young idealist insists that God will provide.
Later, the mother asks, “So, how did it go, honey?”
“Good news, bad news, dear. The bad, he has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I’m God.”
