Transcript of “Pastry-Dough Hands”

In English, we may describe somebody who’s clumsy as having butterfingers, which I really like.

But I like even better the Italian version, which translates as to have pastry dough hands.

You know, pastry dough is fragile. It’s easily crumbled. And I just think that’s a great description of being clumsy.

Oh, it is.

But you know what it does remind me of is fat baby fingers that you want to just numb on. You know what I’m talking about. Chubby little baby hands.

Oh, yeah.
