It was a normal dinner at Jenny's house.
Marta, Jenny's mom, had decided to cook a simple pasta al pesto and mozzarelle 'in carrozza' a family favourite. They consisted in fried crumbed mozzarella sandwiches.
Near to Jenny, Sara and Simon, the twins, are arguing on some meaningless argument, like usual. My word, they could even find a way to argue on things they agree on.
On the other side of the table, Marta was trying to make small talk with James, Jenny's boyfriend, while Marco, Jenny's dad, was too busy listening to the news to pay attention to anything else. James, on the other hand, was doing his best to just look normal, it was still too early to let himself loose at those dinners with all the Marchi family present.

Mutes, you're welcome. I'll let you figure the other rules by yourselves.
Kaygottagothanksbye". After that the news tune back, and a bit perplexed, the anchorman continues.
Back at the family table, apparently everyone listens to the news very carefully, since now they are all looking at each other dumbfounded
Marta is the first to speak "Could it be true?"
Marco replies "I dunno. Maybe somebody should try to say something impossible just to make sure"
Simon, with an impish smile, interrupts "Impossible? I got it. Sara is a super sexy woman"
Sara gasps, clearly offended, even before the changes begin to happen, shouts back at Simon "___________"
