11 Italian words beginning with the letter P: a proverb

November 10, 2014November 10, 2014 / get back, laurettadimmick / 1 Comment

The letter P

These 11 P words form an Italian proverb, let me translate it poorly (using an English p word): First think then speak because words poorly thought through have the ability to bring mistakes.  Close enough.

Why this post? And why today?

Just because I can!

A presto!

Call me maybe?…only in Italian.

Oh, my darling, when do you love me?  How much do you love me?
