So the chick at the argentine travel agency asked if I was Italian as I butchered espanol. In a weird way, it was kind of flatterring to not immediately come off American.. My inner gay man was a bit flattered because generally Italians come off well dressed. Idk..
Anyways.. This brings up an old hypothesis about my dad. So my dad rules and I love him. He does not talk about his side of family or anything. Generally, it is because he does not know much due to being a small immigrant family and losing his father and only brother to overseas wars. However, I had this theory that maybe our family was relocated to Florida for some other reason.. Like maybe my dad was into some underground crime. Here is what contributes to my hypothesis…
• Almost no family history from his side
• Never got many stories out of him
• He seems a little darker skin than most Germans
• He speaks like north jersey Italians (could be coincidence cause there were also lots if Yiddish words coming from my mom who us def not a Jew)
• We moved to Florida
• Our family never travelled much and always kept a low profile (unlike me obv)
• I had some shitbag friends growing up that were thuggish from the NE. They were so scared of my dad, some would not come over. My dad hardly ever said a word to them. It was weird.
Pretty sure this hypothesis is not true, but it is an interesting anecdote about my random thought patterns.. (both growing up and now)
My dad rules and I need to get back to Florida to visit him.
Ok bye.
