crazy Italians

So when I got up to Fountain Hills on Saturday, I noticed my mom had written down an email address. The person had a familar last name.

"Mom, it's comcast.net, not comcast.com"

"Oh, well it's for you anyway. She was just diagnosed as a celiac, and I promised her I'd have you get in touch with her."

"She has the last name of "Crazy Italians in Chicago", but I don't recognize the first name. Is she related?"

"By marriage. But she's Italian too."

Granted, my Italian has been watered down to 1/4, but I wondered if Italians have a higher predominance of the celiac genes. Will have to look into that....

Kinda ironic if it were true.
