If I told my mom "my ears are ringing", mom would tell me that someone is talking about me.
I couldn't write the sentence this way.
If I told my mom "my ears are ringing", she would tell me that someone is talking about me. Because you can never call your mom she--if you did someone would say "She, who is she? The cat's called she". How funny is that?
And if you said "So". Someone would say "So, Sew buttons on ice cream" We must have sounded crazy. We must have been the nutty neighbors. No wonder my ears were ringing.
I forgot how many superstitions or rituals we had. I don't think I passed any of these to my kids. I'll have to ask them.
My parents were not strict at all. We were all very Catholic including 13 years of Catholic schooling. They were the grandchildren of immigrants from Italy, Ireland and Germany.
