 Letter from an Italian mother!
Italians delight in jokes about Carabinieri and their families. Here is one I translated: Letter from a mother to her ‘Carabiniere’ son.
Dear son, I’m writing these few lines so you know I have written. If you receive this then it means it has arrived. If you don’t receive it, let me know and I’ll send it again.
I’m writing slowly because I know you can’t read in a hurry.
Some time ago your father read in the paper that the majority of accidents happen within a radius of a kilometre from ones home. So we have decided to move a little farther away. The new house is wonderful.
There is a washing machine, but I’m not sure if it works. Just yesterday I put the washing in, pulled the water tap and the washing disappeared completely.
The weather here isn’t too bad. Last week it rained twice: the first time for three days and the second for four.
Oh, about the jacket that you asked me for, your Uncle Piero told me to send it to you with the buttons still on would be quite expensive (because of the weight of the buttons). So I took them off. If you want to sew them back on, I’ve put them in the inside pocket.
Your brother Gianni has been very silly with the car: he got out and locked the door leaving the keys inside. So he had to go into the house to get the second set of keys, and then we were able to get out of the car too.
If you see Margherita – say hello from me, but if you don’t see her don’t say anything.
Your loving Mother who loves you a lot.
P.S. I wanted to put put some money in this letter for you, but I’d already sealed the envelope.
