Phone call to an Italian mother;

[meriad]

Italian Mother: 'Hello?'

Daughter: 'Hi Mom. Can I leave the kids with you tonight?'

Italian Mother: 'You're going out?'

Daughter: 'Yes.'

Italian Mother: 'With who?'

Daughter: 'With a friend.'

Italian Mother: 'I don't know why you left your husband. He is such a good man.'

Daughter: 'Ma, I didn't leave him. He left me!'

Italian Mother: 'You let him leave you, and now you go out with anybodies and nobodies.'

Daughter: 'Ma, I do not go out with anybody. Can I bring over the kids?'

Italian Mother: 'I never left you to go out with anybody except your father.'

Daughter: 'There are lots of things that you did and I don't.'

Italian Mother: 'What's that supposed to mean??'

Daughter: 'Nothing, Ma. I just want to know if I can bring the kids over tonight.'

Italian Mother: 'You're going to stay the night with him? What will your husband say if he finds out?'

Daughter: 'Ma - He's my EX husband! I don't think he would be bothered! From the day he left me, he probably never slept alone!'

Italian Mother: 'So you're going to sleep over at this loser's place?'

Daughter: 'Ma! He's not a loser!'

Italian Mother: 'A man who goes out with a divorced woman with children is a loser and a parasite!'

Daughter: 'Ma, I don't want to argue; should I bring over the kids or not?'

Italian Mother: 'Poor children with such a mother.'

Daughter: 'Excuse me??!!'

Italian Mother: 'With no stability. No wonder your husband left you.'

Daughter: 'ENOUGH MA!!'

Italian Mother: 'Don't scream at me. You probably scream at the loser too!'

Daughter: 'Great Ma, Now you're worried about the loser?'

Italian Mother: 'Ah, so you see he is a loser and I spotted him immediately! '

Daughter: 'Goodbye, mother.'

Italian Mother: 'Wait! Wait! Don't hang up! When are you bringing them over? '

Daughter: 'I'm not bringing them over! I'm not going out!'

Italian Mother: 'If you never go out, how do you expect to meet anyone?

Why can't I now get that New York Italian Jew accent out of my head?

Frank - I was also reading that with a pseudo italian accent in my mind
