My sorella (sister) is hilarious! I was told during training that the host mothers usually want for their guests to call them “momma” but not mine. My host mother, even with the language barrier, has become one of the funniest people I know and the barrier has definitely added to the humor. For instance, one evening we were talking about random subjects when she began discussing her passions. Trying to understand her Italian was difficult so she tried English. What I understood her to be saying was that she’d had many passions in her life and I smiled and said how great that is and then nudged her with a devilish grin. She looked back at me perplexed. Apparently she had said she had to have a lot of patience.
