Mad as a March Hare

There is a saying in Italy: "Chi nato in marzo รจ pazzo!" It means roughly: "Those who are born in March are crazy!" Well, it turns out that even though I was born in October, I've been calling myself crazy since the gesture in America for "thinking" means crazy here. So in effect, every time I've gestured to people here that I'll think about it, I've been telling them that I'm crazy. Whoops!?

P.S. Happy birthday this month to my brother (fratello), my mom (madre) and my grandmother (nonna)!

    Nice tile background! And we all know you're only crazy in the best of ways! "I think, therefore I'm crazy" is now my new motto!

    Hey...if we are going to study how to name relatives in Italian, you need to add grandfather and uncle for March birthdays!
    Enjoy Sicily!!

    Right! Sorry!

    Grandfather is "nonno"
    Great-grandfater is "bisnonno"
    Aunt is "zia" and uncle is "zio"

    Thanks Zio Antonio!
