Is Italian for "the sweet life" or "the good life"
As my previous post shows I am the lucky owner of a new car. My parents knew we were in the market for one but didn't know what sort we had bought. So we told them on Friday night that we'd bought one and what sort it was. Instead of jumping up and down with excitement, this is what happened.....
Mum: "OH, when your father bought ME a new car I ONLY got a Honda" Followed promptly by.. "Well, I guess you WON'T be getting any more presents this year then, WILL you!?"
Me: "Yes, Mum I know I am a very lucky and spoilt girl" .. "BUT we needed to get a new car anyway, we just hadn't decided on which one"
Mum: "Why, your other car was brand new?"
Me: "Yes, it was only 4 years old, BUT it had NO rear air bags to protect Sara in case of an accident"
Why is it that when good things happen to others, instead of being happy and excited for them, people automatically get jealous?
Its not like my mother hasn't been spoilt by my father for the last 45 years of their marriage. She has lived a very charmed life, never wanting for anything, shopping at will for endless clothes and shoes. If I was in her position I would be happy that my daughter had found a man that could love, support and provide a good life for her!
Wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you?
