Every Blessed Day Page #3

I heard you need to watch

your blood pressure.

Your mom's a snitch,

it's slightly high.

Geez, can't a man enjoy

the infirmities of old age?

Big brother,

you're looking slim and trim!

How are your abs? Nonexistent.

I'm no loser like you who's in the

gym every day like an American.

America's only aw is the fact that

you're not there. You should come.

We'll visit eventually,

maybe next summer.

Duccio, did you tell him

about it? - Oh, right!

The Classics Department is looking

for a Latin literature assistant.

You'd be perfect for the job.

An expert

on early Christian martyrs.

He tells me this all the time!

Ignore him, I merely wrote

a thesis on the topic.

It's true, he knows tons about it!

Names of streets, saints,

churches, tons!

Fundamental things.

I call him "Guidopedia".

It would be great.

It would be great but I rather

enjoy what I'm doing now.

It's not a demanding job,

I have the entire night

to relax and read.

And think...

And Beethoven is on

the hotel's sound system all night.

Guido never slept much.

- Remember, Lorenzo?

- Yes.

He would read all night...

with a flashlight

so he wouldn't wake Duccio.

How sweet!

In fact, Guido...

you're right, your job sounds

really pleasant. Good for you.

Here's the chestnut cake.

It should be eaten with ricotta,

but we have none.

What exactly does Guido

do for work?

He's the night porter

in a big hotel.

Nice!

We'd better hurry.

Guido, I'll put it in the car.

- I'm so fond of Antonia.

- I'm fond of her too.

Listen, this is from me and dad.

Take it, you could use it.

You never know...

It's unnecessary, we both work.

Really. Bye, mom.

Have a good trip.

- How is it?

- It's f***ing wonderful!

It basically says that plants

have personalities like us.

And it provides examples

from ancient literature and history.

I've yet to read it.

Your mom gave it to me,

your dad was too shy to.

What a great man! And your mom too.

I love your parents.

I know,

they appear to be lovely people.

- Your sister-in-law seems normal!

- She is normal.

Well, she teaches at university

and has two kids!

And your brother is

Obama's special financial assistant.

What's so funny?

He's a consultant for

the government's economic policy.

- What did I say?

- Same thing.

And he's only 30!

He's a genius too.

I know,

I'm the only dummy in the house.

No, baby.

Come on.

- No, not here.

- They're all asleep, relax.

I spoke to your mom

about our situation...

She made an appointment for us

with a hotshot gynecologist.

- He works with the Pope.

- The Pope's gynecologist?

- He must be a real pro!

- Silly, you know what I meant.

She said he's a bit Catholic,
