True Story

So my cousin is really into tanks... like way too into tanks. It should be noted that no one else in our family has any interest in tanks, but my cousin (we’ll call him Tony) still tells us all about them.

Well, one day we were at my grandmother’s for a lunch thing, and Tony starts tell us (only me and my friend were willing to sit near him) about Italian tanks. He was talking about how well they were built and their accuracy (in his game). I tried to make him change topic by bringing in a joke.

I said, “The only reason I’d care about the Italian tanks, is if they fire meatballs at their enemies.”

That made my friend laugh. Now, one look at Tony and I could tell I failed at deterring him from his lecture. It was at that moment, my other cousin (Tony’s sister) walked by us. Apparently, she had heard my weapon idea and took the mind set of the enemy that would be forced to deal with lethal meatball, because in her best/worst Italian accent she said (with hand gesture), “Mamma Mia!” Then she walked away, cool a cucumber, while my friend and I forgot how to breathe

To this day I can’t think of the phrase/movie/song without laughing.
