So noted
Bruce has returned from his travels. He picked up this habit that I recognize as similar to the faux British accent with which I spoke for about six months. Yes, Bruce spent the day saying the three Italian words he learned. He also displayed a penchant for saying: “In Italy we tend to…” and “Us Italians like to…” as well as “The Venetian hookers on the corner like to wear their undergarments as outer garments.”
I was a second away from stabbing him in the eye with a pen, but I have to be patient with dear Bruce. He’s only ever traveled for business so while he’s been places it’s not as if he’s been any place cool. This was his first experience in terms of going to a place that is a tourist destination and this was his first time where he had a day to go and do something touristy.
I think that Bruce is opening to the idea of travel with an eye toward the adventurous now that he’s been on this trip. At least once a day he’s declared that we need to go to Venice on vacation. I don’t think it will happen soon, we have some things planned for the next year that preclude a trip to Venice and now that I am working I have to be mindful of things like earned PTO and the like.
And if Bruce asks you if you would like some Limoncello just roll your eyes. He doesn’t even know what Limoncello is.
