B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 21, 2024

I don’t get the joke.

Or European mom in general. France is no different.

me, neither

…..also a few joys and discomforts!!!!!

Maybe it’s because everything is picked over and good stuff is hard to find. Grocery shopping on any day consists of a lot of hunting and gathering.

Those Italian grannies can be vicious when it comes to grocery shopping!

War and Pizza? A swing and a miss… The Count doesn’t get it either

I’m not Italian but I’ve been invited to one or two Italian family dinners and learned that the only mistake one can make is to not eat enough. This had to be explained to me when they thought I didn’t like the food, although I ate more than I should, or needed.

Not to mention the husbands of those moms helping the shop

And they are not wrong!

I’m certain it’s not limited to Italian mothers, and surely a stereotype, but Italian women have mastered being a ‘drama queen’. Everything is ‘trial and tribulation’.

All I know is, you won’t be able to find a parking space at the mall

Sadly, even more so at this time of year, I cannot ask my Italian wife of 58 years because Jesus’ answer was “NO.”

Nobody ever said shopping would be pleasant.

Try living in a tourist town!!! A 5 minute commute to the grocery store can take up to 50 minutes. I know from personal experience.

Italian moms and Filipino moms keep putting more food in you plate until you pass out from food coma lol

14 years ago today, we went to Bath (England) for xmas. We ended up at Marks & Spencers for dinner supply shopping and the wife got bowled over by a little old lady who was targeting the same lamb hunk…

I’m done with this strip.

You don’t have to be Italian to find that trying.

This one must be personal. Mastroianni is probably talking about his mom.

Hey I am only half Italian and I love to shop for big dinners as mia familia helps to cook and clean up!
