grew up with Italian Grandparents, parents who spoke Italian before they spoke English and us kids who never spoke Italian but understood what are grandparents were saying. we were a close knit family who gathered at Grandmas every sunday for a big family dinner. afterwards the women congregated in the kitchen ,the kids were outside playing and the men had drinks and cigars in Grandpas study. when we had kids they grew up knowing the values of Italian tradition with a respect for the culture the great food and spectacular desserts. they are still close to their cousins and know the story of their heritage. if brought up properly with good values Italians respect their Italian-American and American-Italian Goumbas
