But as a matter of fact Lucia does know two other words. Once I ironed a very starched nightgown. It was a very, very large and gathered nightgown. I held it up and made Lucia look at it. Lucia snickered. “Da big-a, da fat-a!” said Lucia. Mrs. Reilly let out a squeal. “She's learnt English!” Mrs. Reilly called down the line. “And,” I announce, “I'll teach her 'da small-a, da thin-a.”
Each time I patted her on the back when we started off and chortled: “Hey, Lucia, da big-a, da fat-a!” Lucia would giggle again, and that is all we would have to say. Except one night Lucia pointed to the moon and said, “Luna.” So I make the most of knowing that much Italian. Oh yes, Lucia and I had one other thing in common.
