You Know You're Italian If...

Fogetaboutit..

At least one kid in the family had to bring his/her accordian to a holiday dinner and played "Lady of Spain"

You bought at least one Christmas present out of the trunk of a car in an alley.

Someone in you family owed a fortune in "juice", that had nothing to do with fruit.

It wasn't Sunday if you didn't smell the gravy cooking while you were still in bed!

If you used a closeline in the house to dry Pasta before a holiday.

You knew only one kid that had blue eyes, and you had a crush on his sister.

If you had a cousin that had a hairline that almost touched his/her eyebrows.

You had at least 3 women in the family that only wore Black.

If you really miss the smell of sausage at a wedding...Developing.. :)

LOL! (((((Carlo))))))

Not very many apply to my family, but I have *no* doubts that I am Italian - 100%.

I'm always tickled by tomato sauce being called "gravy." My family always called it "sauce." Is that a regional thing?

Sad, but true.

Off topic - any good super bowl party suggestions? I've been roped into throwing one this year and I'm not a party person.
