You thought killing the pig each year and having salami, cappacola, pancetta and prosciutto hanging out to dry from your shed ceiling was absolutely normal.
You ate pasta for dinner at least three times a week, and every Sunday, and laughed at the commercial when Anthony Martenyetti called him for dinner because .... "Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti day in Boston."

Your Aunt's furniture was as comfortable as sitting on plastic.
Wait !!!! .... You ----were ---- sitting on plastic !!!!.
You thought talking loud was normal.
You thought sugared almonds and the Tarantella were common at all weddings.
You thought everyone got pinched on the cheeks and money stuffed in their pockets by their relatives.
Mama is overly protective of the males in the family no matter what their age.
There was a crucifix in every room of the house.
Wakes would be held in someone's living room.
You couldn't date a boy without getting approval from your Papa. (Oh, and the boy not only had to be Italian, preferably from Papa's region !!! ... Mama mia !!!!)
You called "macaroni " what everyone else called "pasta."
You dreaded taking out your lunch at school because it was hard explaining the olive oil leaks from the brown paper bag ... Your mother knew ""exactly "" where you were simply by following that trail of olive oil on the sidewalk.
Going out for a cup of coffee usually meant going out for a cup of coffee over Magdelena's house.
Every condition, ailment, misfortune, memory loss and accident was attributed to the fact that you didn't eat the right thing.
