Father Joe writes about Friends and Italian friends:
Definitely not racist !
FRIENDS: When their mom visits them she brings a nice bunt cake and you sip coffee and chat.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: When their mom visits them she brings 3 days worth of food and begins to immediately tidy up, dust, do the laundry or rearrange the furniture.
FRIENDS: Their dads always call before they come over to visit them and its usually only on special occasions.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Are not at all fazed when their dads come over, unannounced, on a Saturday morning at 8:00am and start pruning the trees with a chainsaw or renovating the garage.
FRIENDS: You can leave your kids with them and you always worry if everything is going to be ok plus you have to feed them after you pick them up.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: No problem, leave the kids there and if they get out of line the Italian friend can set them straight…plus they get fed.
FRIENDS: Always pay retail and look in the yellow pages when they need something done.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Just call their dad or uncle and ask for another dad’s or uncle’s phone number to get it done…cash deal, know what I mean.
FRIENDS: Will come over for cake and coffee and expect cake and coffee, no more.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will come over for cake and coffee and expect an antipasto, a few bottles of wine, a pasta dish, a choice of two meats, salad, bread, potatoes, a nice dessert cake, fruit, coffee and a few after dinner drinks…time permitting there will be a late lunch as well.
FRIENDS: Think that being ITALIAN is a great thing.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Know that being ITALIAN is a great thing
FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.
FRIENDS: Will say “hello”.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss.
FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Cry with you.
FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing and just being together.
FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it’s yours.
FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.
FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that’s what the crowd is doing.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds’ ass that left you.
FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, “I’m home!”
FRIENDS: Are for a while.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Are for life.
FRIENDS: Will ignore this.
ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will forward this.
