I remember a funny story from one of our Christmases. We still laugh about this. My beautiful mother had her 1st white Russian Drink at Grandma's. She took some coaxing for the 1st couple sips, and half way through the glass she had to pee. As we went up the steps (I had to help her,) she saw that ceramic duck on the stairwell. She picked it up and walked around the house quaking.!!! That was my mom, I was so proud that she was such a light weight drinker. Ha ha ha ha.
Another time Grandma made squid sauce and left a couple "tenticles" hanging over the dish. Then covered with another plate. When mom went to grab the upper plate, someone jiggled the table and she screamed!! She said (in her words) the squid's "testicles" are still alive."We all laughed until we cried. I made mom and dad that dinner again in Ohio and we still laughed about it. I also remember dad and grandma cussing in Italian playing that card game -Scobe!! I think that is the right name. Dad tried to teach it to us but I guess you had to know how to swear Italian style, because that's all he did trying to teach us. Ha ha ha. We never did get it.
