Junior Princess Monopoly



Considering that my mother was never with our hands and was always occupied in some household chores for her image that, after an unreasonable number of times that deter them from his stuff with the same question , was an annoying thing on the one hand but, on the other hand, relieved from having to compulsorily participate in other games that could not be played alone. I
a quiet, let's say, I could not hear for hours and then I liked to play alone, with the primer. Anyway, needless to say, the statistics and the calculation of the possibilities did their part, and it took several attempts and several afternoons before putting on a possible word ... at least in Italian means and not in Ostrogoths, Russian, or English language for my mother were all equally incomprehensible. The first word was VINEGAR. I still remember because there was a lot of noise at home that night, or so it seemed to me, around that little fact for me was the value of an Olympic medal. I had it done! At last I had the power to make words. It seemed to me a great thing, although I still wonder why.
That is, I say better, now I know, I know, but what I have left is difficult to understand why then, not today, for the little girl about four years that I was, it was so exciting to make words when in fact the words I was already talking about (and how many I could do!) and, conversely, I would not have sapute neither read nor write, and, in hindsight, I could not even repeat the only successful experiment: vinegar.

What was important was the written word.
course I did not know that the Romans had spread throughout the world that age-old motto: "Verba volant, scripta manent" nor how many useless words spoken penalty gave the world to utter every day, as they air, air only, and not the effort and thought that seeks to find the words to express themselves.
Less than ever, decreed that the importance of suffrage in an inexplicable but just as safe, I knew nothing of books and their importance, the greatest legacy to mankind for millennia has produced and produces and to which everyone can, if you want , access, and even use, abuse and listen to your liking. There is everything when it comes to books, there has been all throughout history, even if it seems to me that all that was there before was a little 'best of all there is today, but it's true also that each new generation and all generations have been "last" before no longer be so, had the same suspicion that I have now.
So, nothing new.
