School shopping in Italia

I took Julia out today for a little shopping on one of the main streets of Rieti. We were looking for some hair bands that she could take back with her to share with her friends at home. After finding them, we ventured into a few shops (the few that weren’t closed for vacation or “ferie”) because the 50%-70% off discount signs are too hard to resist. We found a few things for me, but nothing much in the way of kids clothes for Julia. On the walk home (via Paldo’s for a slice of pizza to share) I reasoned that we had done some shopping for her before we came. These clothes haven’t been worn to school yet as they were “saved for the trip” and she would have “new”er outfits that no one at home had seen yet.
To which she replied, “Yes, mom, but they wouldn’t be Italian.”

Hard to argue with that logic.
