As a first generation Italian American, I can confirm this is true about the grandparents. My grandparents were here for half their life and they never learned to speak English outside of a random word here and there that they threw in when they spoke Italian. Luckily for me, it helped me learn to speak Italian. My parents speak English but in the house they still speak Italian most of the time, but my grandparents were Italian all the way. Great memories.

When I was in 5th grade, my class had gone camping at a nature park. My parents who are Italian immigrants wouldn't give me permission to go on this camping trip. My teacher called my parents and them that it would not do my education any good if I didn't go. My parents argued with the teacher that it is not beneficial for me to go camping. As a result, my parents caved in to my teacher's demands and mom and dad had to buy me a sleeping bag. My dad knowing what a tightwad he was didn't want to buy the sleeping bag. It is a cultural thing that non Italians do not understand.

Also my immigrant mother not only signed permission slips, she was one of the parents who help supervise the trip. Thanks mom!

I came home from my first day in high school and told my Italian grandmother I signed up for French. I thought she was going to shoot me. Turns out, Napoleon invaded her little village in the early 1800s. She wasn't even born but the story got passed down through the generations. "I never forget." She said. Forget? It was 100 years before she was born. Then she smacked me upside the head and gave me some pizzale cookies and coffee to eat while I did my homework. :-)
