Ok, I guess I didn`t really grasp
how poor my Mom`s family was
when she used to tell me as a kid.
Look how excited she is with her cardboard rashins!
Nothing`s growing in that garden. Those empty
milk jugs where probably supposed to last for 2 weeks.
My uncles had to wait for someone to grow out of their shoes...

amazing picture.

My mom and dad tell similar stories about their lives and only when I've seen the odd picture (pictures were very rare in rural Italy) am I able to really grasp the truth of their stories.

They remind me of the little rascals.
