I want a steak...

Nicolo and I have finalized the arrangements that I will be carting him around during my lunch break and whenever he gives me a heads up on what he wants to do. Carrying an Italian around with you is a lot like having a toddler at your side. They touch everything, don’t listen/understand very well, and speak in warbled English. When I arrived at the course this morning he was waiting for me in front of my desk. I asked him if he would like to go to lunch today and get a converter for his computer. He said that he would like a steak. I didn't ask if he wanted a steak. Okay we will get you a steak. 10:30 rolls around and I am meandering around the course looking for Bob, the old man who sometimes loses his way. Here comes Nicolo. "I want a Steak, a good one". Come on! It is just after breakfast and he already wants a slab of meat. Bleck. I told him to meet me at noon and we would go out for lunch. Noon on the dot I hear him. "I want a steak" Okay, so I take him to the nearest steak place I knew of and let him have his way with it. The waiter came by to ask what he wanted, guess what his answer was..."a steak". After carefully explaining, and repeating himself the waiter finally got Nicolo to choose some seven ounce piece of beef. How does he order it? RARE. The waiter then tells him he has a choice of either mashed potatoes or baked potato, and which would he like...his response was, "potatoes, I would like potatoes" The mashed part threw him off. The food comes and I think his meat mooed a little because it was so uncooked. The waitress handed Nicolo a steak knife and asked him to cut his steak to see if it was cooked to his liking. Nicolo got frightened by the knife pointing and slammed into the wall knocking a horseshoe off display. He finally gets the idea and cuts the meat and blood pours out of it. I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit. He thinks it’s perfect. He even rubbed his potatoes in the blood. After watching him masticate the bloody side of a cow...I think I have become a vegan.
