More About Antonio

Having driven with Antonio over the last few days, I learned a couple of interesting things about him and his family:

1. He drinks 6 liters of coca-cola a day. Yikes! But he doesn't eat sweets.

2. We talked about his sons. I asked him when his oldest son was going to finish school (he's studying some form of medicine). Antonio didn't know. He said that once your kids get married, you are supposed to stop asking them questions about their life. If they want to volunteer information, that's great, but inquiring about things to your married offspring is seen as intruding on their new family. I asked if this was something with his family, or a pervasive cultural thing, and he said it's a common practice. Makes sense.

I've learned a lot from Antonio.
