Today, my mom brought my great-grandmother to visit me. My Granna is 92 and I never see her except at funerals and weddings so I was real surprised to get a visit from her. I was totally shocked when she started to scold me for upsetting that old lady who hit my car (I already told you bout that old lady driver who sideswiped my car a couple weeks ago.) This is the main part of the convo….
Granna: why for you get ticket for Strega Rosa?
Me: what are you talking about?
Mom: the accident you had a couple weeks ago, the other driver was Rosa Ianniello, don’t you remember her?
Me: sure I remember her, she hit me
Granna: but why for you get her ticket?
Me: Granna, she was driving the wrong way and she hit me, that’s why she got a ticket. I didn’t have anything to do with that!
Granna: but she is strega! She don’t get ticket.
Me: what’s up with that! She’s old and can’t drive for !
Granna: she is strega, she has the ‘eye’
Me: well, her ‘eye’ didn’t work for her that time, BECAUSE SHE HIT ME!
Then, both my mom and my granna grabbed their rosaries and started in crying and crossing themselves, praying to the Holy Mother to save our family from the witch!
OMG well I was praying too….SAVE ME FROM MY CRAZY ITALIAN FAMILY!! |

It's funny. I have a friend in Canada, and he says 'mum' too.
If you really want to go redneck, you can say, "ma."
As in:
"Ma the pigs needs a butcherin'.":toothless |
