I think so. If the story is the one I think it is ...

Is it the one that ends with the single word "Feh!"?

Then the word UNDERSTATEMENT may be ... rather understated.

If it's the story I think it is, I'll spoiler it if anyone asks.

Okay.

The story is told in the first person by a traditionalist Jewish
man who is very upset because his daughter has told him she's
going to marry ...

.... a Martian.

Who is not only not Jewish, but who looks to Dad's eyes like a
vegetable.

And he says "Feh!" a lot, which is an expression of disgust. But
his daughter finally talks him around, and he goes to meet...

"My son-in-law, the vegetable.

"Feh!"
