A Convo with my kids: Parks in Italy & Gelato.

Convo I had earlier with my sons…on the car ride home after the park, and after stopping at the supermarket for ice cream.

Boy child 1: Mom, will there be parks in Italy?

Me:Yes, there will be parks in Italy as there are kids in Italy who like to play at parks just like you.

Boy child 1: The kids will speak Italian right?

Me: Pretty sure they will.

Boy child 1: But I don’t speak Italian.

Me: Well you were playing with a boy who spoke Spanish, and you don’t really speak Spanish, how’d that go for you?

Boy child 1: It went well.

Me: It should go well with Italian kids too.

Boy child 2: Mom, is there ice cream in Italy?

Me: Yes. It’s called gelato.

Boy child 2: Does it come in strawberry?

Me: Yes.

Boy child: Can we go there now?

Me: I wish.
