This piece could have easily described a Jewish or Italian mom in the United States.
Hi. I think ‘pena’ was used in the shortie to express, “too bad”, but the vocabulary definition was given as “a feather”, which is good to know 😃. Perhaps in this case bother definitions could be given. Thanks.
Yes, it was! Sorry about that – already fixed 🙂
