My parents were extremely good-looking; both could have been movie stars. Mom seemed completely unaware of her effect on men.
Despite this, Dad was incredibly jealous and insisted Mom cancel her home delivery of olive oil because he believed Luigi, the delivery man, had a “thing” for my mother. She, of course, thought it was ridiculous but complied.
Dad was always at work during deliveries. The final olive oil day was extremely hot and Luigi wore shorts, something he never did. It was only then I noticed the heart-shaped birthmark behind his right knee – exactly the same as mine.
