Geman Host Family Meets Italian Host Mom

Uli (my German host brother from 1986) and his family came to visit Italy for a week. On their last night, Anna and I invited them over for dinner. Uli, not understanding that if you have a clean plate in an Italian home, it means that you will be served MORE food, ate too fast and ate the equivalent of two entire four course meals! That's called experiential learning!!!

My role that evening was to translate between Italian and English. At the end of the night, Jonah, Uli and Alex's son, said he thought Anna was always angry with me because she was always yelling. The boy needs to learn something about Italian mothers and the way they communicate!
