Happy Birthday!

Today is the birthday of the gandmamma/mamma.
This is a picture of her looking on uncomfortably while her grandchildren engaged in highly questionable roughhousing at an Italian castle. This is not as worried a look as she wears when I take them for rides on motorcycles and allow them to say naughty words like, darn.
Despite these errors in my judgement she continues to voice her approval of me as a human being and a parent, she is good to Ariella, offers to babysit and helps with the dishes when she comes to visit, what more could one possibly ask?
As some of you have heard me say, sarcasm was my mother tongue, without her I could never have gain and maintained my current level of fluency.
Thanks mom, if you weren't you, I wouldn't be me,
Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Things' gandmamma!
My father, who was born in 1915, had an aunt who would never allow any euphemistic swearing except "Fudge!" The innocent woman thought that didn't stand for anything bad. . . .

Snav~ Well, they were running at each other with sharp things, I have to admit it wasn't probably the safest game ever, but they really enjoyed it.

Candace~ They learned a little, refusing to learn it was Thing One's method of coping with missing family here. The last year there they did pick up some, but now, two years later we have the basically the equivalent of Sesame Street Italian.

Susie~ (insert tongue sticking out face here) Silly girl, that was taken at the castle about 5 minutes from our house in Italy. I will take you to a nice Italian restaurant here though, if you like.

Weirsdo~ Good story! Funny stuff, you should have seen my beloved mother's face when my little one popped off with,
"What is wrong with this FREAKING thing!!" She tried so hard to raise me right, I just keep veering left.
