My in-laws have an amazing grasp of the English language considering they arrived in America not knowing a word, but to our amusement, they still mess up tricky words and idioms. And just so you don't feel the need to pity them and frown upon our chuckling at their expense, i'll tell you that my mother-in-law, in the nicest way possible of course, laughs at my four-year-old when he tries to speak Italian. She mocks his accent.
My father-in-law is an eternal optimist and incidentally he loves lemonade. In fact, their family dinner beverage of choice was called lemonade. In reality it was a pitcher of water with the juice, pulp and seeds of one lemon.
"Somebody make-a the lemonade!", my father-in-law would sing loudly in response to my mother-in-law yelling, "Everybody come to eat!"
So I guess it was inevitable one of my father-in-law's favorite sayings is, "When life gives you lemons, we make-a the lemonade!"
