Two separate anecdotes about Italian men being unexpectedly sweet:
**Story 1:** The poster recalls living in Italy and one day walking down the street sobbing over something personal. A 10-year-old neighborhood kid from the local pizzeria runs up and says, 'Signora, please don't leave sad jewels on the road.' (Italian idiom — tears are 'jewels/gems' dropping on the street.) Poster's reaction: 'This kid is BUILT DIFFERENT. Pure Italian species.'
**Story 2 (by @BoolucKZ):** A 5-year-old girl was struggling with chopsticks at dinner. The Korean guys at the table all flexed by showing off their technique going 'watch me, THIS is how you do it!' But the Italian guy at the table just quietly said 'It's okay, here—' and popped food directly into her mouth. Italy wins again.
