I am not Sicilian , but I do remember … a certain wooden spoon teaching me lessons, friend Carlos … oh, and then there was this carpet beater cleaner thing as well … I don’t think it did me any harm, but never laid a hand or used any of these contraptions on my own kids … and am proud to say that none of them turned into terrorists either. Love, cat.

I wonder if this made me not much of a salad eater.

Perhaps we could just send the women a gross or two of the wooden spoons?
