 03. Your family dog understood Italian.
 04. Every Sunday afternoon of your childhood was spent visiting your grandparents and extended family.
 05. You've experienced the phenomena of 150 people fitting into 50 square feet of yard during a family cookout.
 
 08. You ate pasta for dinner at least three times a week, and every Sunday, and laughed at the commercial for Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti day.
 
 10. You were as tall as your grandmother by the age of seven.

 29. You grew up in a house with a yard that didn't have one patch of dirt that didn't have a flower or a vegetable growing out of it.
 30. Your grandparent's furniture was as comfortable as sitting on plastic. Wait!!!! You were sitting on plastic.
 31. You thought that talking loud was normal.
 
 32. You thought sugared almonds and the Tarantella were common at all weddings.

 Most of them are true for me and my crazy family!  Love the calling pasta macaroni, eating salad after the main course, sangwich and relative in black dress one year after a funeral.
 
 Edited to add: How could I forget the wooden spoon?
