Sunday, 1:20 pm. The pasta is on the table and so is the argument. The topic is serious: how much salt goes in the water? The son watched a chef's video, the daughter read an article, dad “has always done it this way”. Five different opinions, all absolutely certain.
Mum listens in silence. Then she stands up, goes to the head of the table and crosses her arms. Everyone looks down and notices her slippers: purple with a little crown saying La mamma (Mum), pink with a judge's gavel saying ha sempre ragione (is always right).
Silence. The son tries to quote the chef. Mum says nothing, just looks at her slippers. He raises his hands. The daughter surrenders without a fight. Dad waves his napkin like a white flag.
The pasta, by the way, is perfect. As always. Nobody admits it out loud, but everyone has seconds. The verdict is final and there is no court of appeal.
It's the perfect gift for Mother's Day, a birthday or Christmas: it says with a smile something everyone already knows deep down. And in a shop, one look is enough to smile and think of someone.
