Dana: I remember when I was 13 years old in the eighth grade, I was sitting in homemaking class at a table with three Jewish girls, and they asked me if I was Jewish. I said, "I don't know, I may be." I knew that Christians came from Jews, and that's all I knew. I wasn't really sure. That's how liberal and innocent an upbringing I had in this respect.
