Nice Moment & Unrelated Quote

After helping a customer set up his new computer with a few hiccups along the way, we got it done and the three women with him got up to go too. One I’m pretty sure was his wife and another was probably his mother. This elderly woman came over to me, quite close, as the customer and I were shaking hands and thanking each other. She puts her face right near mine and starts talking… and I’m thinking – this sounds like Italian.

I look at the customer’s wife for a hint – “I’m sorry,” I say. “Can you help?”

She confirms it’s Italian and says I’m being thanked for being so nice and patient. Awww. I ask if she can tell me how to say thank you? Prego!

The motherly lady says Grazie! I say Prego! This happens several times and then they all left together for new adventures.
