Italian People are Crazy
This weekend my mom, Sydney, and I decided to go to the Italian Community Center for their annual Taste of Italy. Basically it’s where you get to sample all these delicious Italian foods.
Well, have you ever seen the movie Finding Nemo with all those crazy seagulls that yell “Mine! Mine!” when they see a scrap of food. Yeah, that’s what this event was like.
There were about 6 million people there and they were all jostling each other for the food like they hadn’t eaten in a year. I got knocked into a chair, had my feet stepped on, and got cursed at by a ninety year old lady with a walker. No joke. Then my sister got yelled at by two women who apparently thought she skipped them in the meatball sandwich line. The whole thing was crazy. We had to fight off people just to get a table!
All in all, the whole event was an experience. I’ve gone before, but this was the first year I feared for my life. All the chaos was worth it once I got my food. And the food, oh my God, was amazing. Definitely worth a few bruises.
Little Life Lesson #17: Don’t mess with Italian people when food is on the line. (Isn’t that a line from The Princess Bride? Oh, no, wait that’s “Don’t mess with a Sicilian when death is on the line.” Well, that’s advisable too. We do have the Mafia.)
