If my sons read this entry they may want to take away my computer privileges. At the tender ages of 11 and 9 years old my boys are enthusiastically watching the Miss Italia pageant this year. But they wouldn't want their school buddies to know. Because it is just not cool. Watching half naked men grapple eachother (wrestling) is cool, but watching half naked girls isn't.
At first I thought it was a clever ploy for subverting our newly imposed "Back to school-early to bed" routine. But no, it turns out that each has a favorite or several favorites that he wishes would win. For Matthew he likes a girl named Allessia because she looks exactly like one of his teachers. Gabriel prefers all the girls from the region of Puglia. Last night I was at my pc when I heard excited happy shrieking from Matthew: "Mamma mamma, come quick! Miss Italia is back on tv!" If I understood the closing credits to the program last night, then tonight will be the final Miss Italia episode. Any guesses to what our family will be watching tonight?
