Our Man in Europe/Dave Delacroix/ "Educating DORABELLA!"


(dedicato: "Orlando Furisio" -who owes me $20!)


DORABELLA's Mamma: "So! Figlia! (daughter), WHAT did U learn at College today; Milano University, isn't it? The GIG I worked so hard for, scrubbing other people's bathrooms (bagni) to pay for your glorious Education? YOU! The "grande Domani" (future) of our poor family?"
Dorabella/MILANO Fashion-ista: "Mamma, CHILL OUT, "per favore". My I-PHONE is on "da blink" and I think I need a new NET-PAD...Hold that thought:; my Cell-phone is ringing; it might be Orlando?..."
MAMMA busies herself scrubbing the neighbors toilet bowl (8 euros per hour).
Later...
Mamma: "So! ORLANDO? He is a College amico? From a good family? He will be a Doctor? A Counciliarie? Tell me, Dorabella? Mamma is SO excited!!!"
Dorabella: "GET REAL, MAMMA! This is a VIRTUAL relationship!?"
Mamma: "Ah! Capito! And you see this BAGNIA (toilet) that I am scrubbing clean for 8 euros per hour to pay for your College needs? I guess, it TOO, is VIRTUAL!"
(Versuvio!!!)
Mamma dispenses with the Rubber gloves and dumps the mop and bucket over Dorabella's "fashion-ista" head and KICKS her out of the house. She then stamps on Dorabella's Cell phone, curses her - and her long absent father - puts on her OWN "fashion-ista", finest old dress, "pops" a Cork...And when ORLANDO - un-virtual - out of the blue? - arrives "ardento!" with Champagne and Roses, immediately dispensing with the "le cadeaux di romantica", in the dimly lit boudoir, straggles her - devil-may-care - wanton body, and then departs, two hours later, swearing eternal love; Mamma smiles...
Later: 5.a.m.
Dorabella returns, sulking, but asking for "virtual" forgiveness. Mamma - still smiling - gives her "virtual" forgiveness. The next day? Dorabella goes back to College - doesn't see ORLANDO? - but studies twice as hard. Mamma? She puts back on the Rubber Gloves, lights a cigarette, and with a smile? -takes her Mop and bucket to another neighbors bathroom... OH BLA DI, OH BLA DAH: Life goes on...:)
