Hard to believe but true: in the south-eastern Italian town of Bari (known also for its rather high-density crime rate and the birthplace of Cassano, former Roma and now Real Madrid player), an 11 year-old student was withheld by the police for having beaten a fellow schoolmate in the classroom. Now, there’s nothing perhaps new in this you might say except that the 11 year-old “boss” demanded from the other kid not his lunch or his cell phone, but in true “mafioso” style, a kiss on the hand, just like in the old mafia movies with Marlon Brando!
The event happened while the teacher had momentarily stepped out of the classroom. The victim, who also ended up in hospital for a week due to the tough whacking, was beaten up simply because he didn’t kiss the “boss’s” hand in a sign of respect (or better, disrespect seeing that he didn’t kiss his hand). Has the baby boss been influenced by all the “shoot-em-up-bang-bang” movies on tv? Au contraire! By his very own father, who happens to belong to the local crime organisation in Bari.
My question is the following: What does the tiny boss do at home if his sweet and dear mamma’ doesn’t give him a second serving of spaghetti, shoot her?
