-----uhm, hi, Graziella?------Yeah, that's me. I didn't know Sofia had family in Italy! Sofia and I go way back...------So have you ever even heard of Champagne day?---Wow...I guess I should explain it then...it's a day to celebrate your accomplishments for the past year------Well it's not exactly bragging, although you're right that would be a very American thing to do...you see you don't just celebrate it alone by yourself thinking about what you've done, you celebrate it with friends, you see, there are these huge parties-----yeah people throw them all over the country, there are big city-square style ones but also ones in people's homes, sort of like new years I suppose, and during the party everyone is asked to make a toast to what they believe to have been their greatest accomplishment over the year-------Well yes, that is like bragging but that's why everyone has to have a date, because you toast to your date's greatest accomplishment, and you're date toasts to yours!-------Well yeah, you see....uhm.... although we don't know each it would be great if you'd come with me-----Awesome!-----Thanks so much-----Okay, thanks again, you really saved my life! haha---bye...*dial tone*

Hey Graziella, what's up?------Oh yeah go ahead, ask away!--------Oh. ...Uh... I didn't have a date because I wasn't planning on going at all this year--------well yeah everyone does go, but I just didn't want to-------Well my mom...she uh, has this silly obsession with the holiday------well it's kind of a long story, i dont know if-------Alright I'll give you the quick version....long time ago my dad worked for a Champagne company, and sales went up for New Years and for Valentines day but weren't so hot inbetween so roughly between the two and launched the idea for Champagne day in his town----yeah...well it just grew and grew for whatever reason. According to dad the idea took off because he had sewn his love for my mother into his passion for creating the holiday-------Yeah i suppose. More cheesy than romantic, I'd say-------No, it's really not that big of a deal, no one we know even knows about this--------Well yeah but I'd just rather them not-----I don't really want to talk about it------------- Look, just leave it alone okay?? .............Graziella?.......Listen, I'm sorry, I.....*sigh* fine...... My dad's car was hit head-on by a drunk driver leaving a party on Champagne day. I was 10, Angie was 3. News stations did it as a human interest story and expected you to chuckle at the irony ............but, well, my mother still loves Champagne day. Sits in her chair by herself all night and toasts to an empty room------Well, She says we have to carry on the tradition 'cause dad and mom used to toast to having Angie and me every year------Yeah, I guess it is cute. Sometimes when we say goodbye on the phone to her now she still says, "Don't forget, you're my greatest accomplishment"......---yeah.........Listen, I'd better go-------- No seriously, it's fine you asked I'm not mad, you didn't know.... -----really it's fine ------ Goodnight *dial tone*
