What Papa says is perfectly true; when we were brought up they went to one extreme, and kept us children in the attics while our parents lived on the first floor; but now it's just the reverse – the lumber room for the parents and the first floor for the children!
E dice bene papà, che quando educavano noi, si esagerava, ci tenevano nei mezzanini, e i genitori vivevano al piano nobile; adesso al contrario, i genitori in uno stambugio e i ragazzi al piano nobile.
