I ran into the boss of a friend of mine the other day. He likes to speak in English with me.
Dino: Ciao, Cara Leeeeen! How are you?
Lynn: I’m fine, how are you, Dino?
Dino: Yes, Yes, I am well.
Long pause in the conversation…
Lynn: Nice sweater, Dino. (it wasn’t handmade but still – a nice color combo, plaid, zip up)
An even longer pause, accompanied by that smile people give when they are treading in incomprehension…
Dino: Yes, yes, but I think it changes in a couple days.
Long pause of confusion on my part…
Dino: Yesterday I went in Piedmont and already is cold there.
Just as Dino predicted the weather (sweater, whatever) has changed and in celebration (or preparation) I have made David and I some of these…are you ready…
From the studio of Olive Knitting I am pleased to introduce
