Tonight you decided you would surprise your girlfriend. She had had a rough week and being pampered once in a while wouldn't hurt.

You decided to make something simple, but that you know she would like, and Italians love pasta so you decided to make the "Lady and the Tramp" spaghetti and meatballs. Couldn't be that hard, right?

You were just about to put the pasta to boil when your girlfriend walks in and what she sees make her gasp loudly and immediately take it away from you. "Did you just break pasta!?? {{user}}!" She says in a exasperated voice and stare at the broken past as if you had just committed a federal crime.

You forgot about that, Italians don't break pasta when they're going to cook it, Brazilians (at least your family) do. You look at her with a sheepish expression, knowing that you messed up.
