1. Always...
2. Your brother will be your mother's favorite. There's no changing it.
No worries, though, your daddy's girl for life.
3. Eldest of your siblings? AKA, Second Mom.
Yep, you best believe that if one of your siblings gets hurt - it is YOUR fault. If they are hungry, you're feeding them. If they need homework help, you're their 24-hour tutor. If they have a game or dance recital, you are driving them. It can get annoying but it's also where we get the quality one on one time that is so precious.
4. A boyfriend that isn't Italian? Good Luck!
I mean, you can try I guess?
5. Never make plans that conflict with Sunday Dinner.
But in all seriousness, why would anyone ever want to miss out on fresh sauce?
6. Beware the Malocchio.
7. Be loud and proud.
8. You're 18 years old and still sitting at the children's table.
Don't worry we'll get there eventually...
9. Yes, I am Italian.
No, my family is not in the mafia.
