    My late father‘s parents were from Italy. Grandpa was from Rome and grandma, Nana, was from Sicily., Both spoke Italian and very little English, brought up eight kids including my dad. I don’t know how they did it.

    My father, being from Mexico, was guilty of never signing a permission slip. My mother, being black, was always in charge of that. I recall asking my father to sign a permission slip for a school trip to Prospect Park. Without even looking at the paper, he said "tell your teacher that I said yes, you can go to the trip" – in Spanish. He tapped my shoulder 2 times and continued watching television. My mother was away that week and I didn't go on the trip. I had to stay with another class doing school work while my class had fun, eating ice cream on the teacher's dime. My dad could speak English but couldn't read it very well, not until I turned 16.

    I can't tell you how many times my teachers thought I was lying because I wrote my own permission slips. Or in trouble for forged signatures when I told them my mother actually told me to sign on her behalf. Or the countless government documents and bank papers I had to translate or fill out.

    How do you grow up with grandparents that don’t speak English & you never learn? Both my nephews & niece have grandparents that only spoke Spanish. They learned. So well that in Kindergarten one of them helped translate for a kid who spoke no English. The teachers were grateful & surprised 😊

    My Italian mom, who came here in her 30's learned English quite well. Couldn't spell for sh*t, but understandable.
    Neither of my folks could swim, but made sure I got swim lessons. Guess I was better off than I thought.

    Both sets of my Grandparents spoke Italian and English. My father's parents were the one's I would go to to stay just for the weekend. My Grampa was a policeman and my Noni was the broom handler. You get out of line, you either got spanked or beaten w/ a broom. My mother's parents were a little more liberal. I get to drink wine, help in the garden, go hiking, go to the 5 and dime store and eat anything and everything. I had a blast at both houses. I stayed w/ my mother's parents all summer long. I never could do anything wrong. I was my Grandpa's favorite. He was a great wine maker, believe me. Ah, Salut!!!, all summer long. 🧐😂😂😂👍
