Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I looked up restaurants in Staten Island, the best ones seem to be Italian, 7 of the top ten, and most of the top 25. Of course there’s the possibility that the pollster was biased. ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom was half Italian and anything in the kitchen could be used to teach a lesson or make a point, adjust an attitude or get someone's attention, or dozens of other things. They could also be used for cooking, serving, or cleaning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 But...but ...but Who has 10 Italian Grandmothers? Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 That's a good question. My kids had three grandmothers, because their mother was divorced. So they had their mother's mother, and their father's mother, and my mother. Three grandmothers. But to have 10 grandmothers - that would take being divorced and remarried a whole lot. And since Italians are frequently Catholic, they tend to frown on divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 If I somehow got kicked out of this country the only other country I would want to live in would be Italy. Love the people and the food. It’s my favorite place out of all the countries I have been to outside the USA. I love Italian food. Love it! Love it! Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Almost any Italian kid whose parents are Mormons. Big close knit families and whichever grandmother was nearby would take the grandmother role on whichever kid needed "adjusting"......and if you sassed one they would target you for more "adjusting" as the day went by. Family get togethers were always run that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
