Well at least the person who wrote that isn’t full of themselves.
I don’t even know what this one means.
some of the stereotypes are true
This one is anyway: Italian kids: Will come over for cake and coffee, and get antipasto, wine, a pasta dish, a choice of two meats, salad, bread, a cannoli, fruit, espresso, and a few after dinner drinks.
I have an Italian grandmother… come over for a cup of coffee next thing you know there a ham on the table, platters of cookies, breads etc… just like the quote. Shes the best. As you leave shes wrapping up a piece of cake and stuffing it in your pocket. Its the most hilarious thing.
My grandmother isn’t Italian and she’s always offering me food. And always sends leftovers home with me.
I think all grandmothers are like that.
Nope, just the ones with a last name that ends in a vowel.
My other g-mom is nothing like that. The Italian g-mom is pulling roast out the cupboards, lasagna out the cabinets, trays of cookies… she has literally wrapped a piece of frosted cake in a napkin and shoved it in my pocket as I was walking out the door complete with a cheek pinch. She’s 90 y/o and weekly hops on the bus to gamble in AC. Course all my Aunt and Uncles are gamblers. She’s had 9 kids. I simply get a kick out of her. She can’t hear, won’t wear hearing aides, call her and she’s constantly talking over you b/c she can’t hear what you say… constantly on the move. Her husband died, within a year she had a boyfriend… I love that lady. ;D She’s given me some wise words of advice that old gal. Wisdom is rare and every bit of it should be cherished. She’s one of the few people in my life who has actually said a few things that were wise. Most old people are just aged kids. Wow… I didn’t think I’d go off on a grandma ramble. I’ll have to give that spry old woman a call!
Thread of the year! ???
yep thats how my grandparents were as well, sunday was a feast and a half, we’d go over around 11am, eat a huge lunch, my g/f would ask whats for dinner as he’s eating his lunch, then dinner would be ~4-5 and we’d have the works, salad, bread, soup, meal, dessert, drinks, then we’d hit the road back home
we did this every sunday for pretty much all of my childhood, i miss those times so much, i’d sit with the g/f and watch baseball or whatever sporting event was on, or we’d watch looneytunes, he loved the looneytunes
every now and again when im out in the area they used to live in i’ll drive by the old house to refresh my mind of some of those memories
i’m irish and filthy like a potatoe.
potatoe?
potato?
potato.

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she’s lost her mind!
