You've heard Lily's "I got drunk in an antique shop and bought a crown" now get ready for "Lily got wasted in a dodgy pub with ex IRA guys who despite being covered in bullet scars and barb wires that they drunkenly laughed about" she did not clue onto the next morning adventures.

lily i feel like if you lived in the US you would definitely have a story to match my "in college i accidentally worked for the mafia" story
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
so uh
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
.......
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
you know how I am italian.......
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
or rather, of italian extraction
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
here's the thing: it's a shitty stereotype to say we're all in the mafia, being Family and being Made is a whole seperate thing
swan bride
wanders in and sits down
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
So there is no working by accident for them, oh no
four eels
oh gosh that's right i totally forgot you're italian descent!
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
But there is the simple understanding that if I went to the right restuarant and asked, I have automatic protection that is offered to all Italian immigrants in aus, at least until recently
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
And it goes way back
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
when my grandfather ( white aus ) left my grandmother ( italian-irish )
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
it was as they say, A Disrespect
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
to a Respected member of the community
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
And to quote certain films about certain groups it's the disrespect
kayde
lmao lily
kayde
these are the kind of conversations i need a drink for
๐๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐ป๐ช๐ฐ๐ธ๐ท
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
and they offered that my grandfather should be "made" to understand why you do not "disrespect" a member of Decent Families in the Community
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
and that if he did not come back, well then, he'd get a fine set of shoes
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
to go ball room dancing on the bottom of the swan river

oh dear
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
My grandmother refused, with appropriate thanks that they would consider her so well.
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
My relatives aren't Family, but yeah it's still that thing that, you come to them, they'll look after you, that's the deal.
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
I've definitely walked into certainly Italian Restuarants and used my Great-Grandfathers last name and wow, snap, I got service over everyone else.
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
Not because he was anyone
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
I sure as hell aint no Mafia Princess
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
but to the right people, there is preference to you lmao fdsfjds
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
I'm not Cosa Nostra, I'm not Family, and women can't be Made, no less but like, I'm Related To Them if in spirit so 
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
Bear is of Maltese decent on his fathers side, he gets the same thing
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
It's just a Thing You Know when you grow up in and around the Families

๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
it's that thing that any groupd that is treated like shit by law and order, and ostricized by society?
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
ehhhhhhh they band together and sort themselves out
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
Also yes: we all watch Godfather and quote it like assholes to each toerh
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
I hated watched it for years
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
tho
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
Bear finally showed it to me
๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐
mostly because as an Italian Immigrant it's one of those films that people watch and THINK they get and then you just dead eye stare them and like "if you quote this at me one more time and talk about italians I'm GOING to have to stab you and throw YOUR body in the river"
kayde
