Having never seen a hairy chest before, the young bride gets frightened and runs downstairs.
“Mamma!” she says “It’s-a so scary! He has-a the hair on his-a chest-a.”
“Calm down, little one” her mother says, stirring the sauce.
“Everything-a gonna be-a alright. I stay here and make-a the spaghetti, you go-a upstairs and have-a some fun”
So the young bride goes back upstairs.
Her new husband takes off his shoes, and pulls down his pants.
Having never seen hairy legs before, she gets scared and runs back downstairs.
“Oh-a mamma!” she cries “It’s-a so scary! He has-a the hair on his legs-a”
“It’s-a OK,” her mother says in a calming voice.
“I stay here-a and make-a the spaghetti. You-a go upstairs and have-a some fun.”
So the bride goes back upstairs.
Her new husband is now wearing only his underwear and socks.
She stands in the doorway, gathered herself and smiles at her groom. He sits on the bed and removes his socks.
However, the man had fought in the Great War and was injured by a landmine.
It blew off all of his toes and part of his left foot.
The new bride knowing this was not normal cried out in fear and ran back downstairs.
“Mamma! Mamma! she screams. It’s-a so scary! Oh my god-a mamma, I never seen-a anything like it before-a. You won’t believe it mamma, but he has a foot and a half!”
The mother stops stirring her sauce and looks up at her daughter in disbelief.
After a short pause she says,
“OK dear, don’t-a worry. You stay here-a and make-a the spaghetti…..I go upstairs and have-a some fun”
