This made me laugh and cry because a) it was so funny and precise, and b) I miss so many family members who are gone. We all said this from childhood. The whole family. We used it exactly how he describes it. My grandparents came from Italy, and my mother’s family lived in Newark, and then Edison. God bless you guys. Great show!

I could not love this more. Really missing my parents right now. My grandparents were from Italy and lived in Plainfield. My mom was the youngest of 12 and I’m the youngest grandchild. I’m so glad I have so many cousins to tell me the stories or being at their house. Thank you for this podcast. Buon Natale
