Sophia had just gotten married, and being a traditional Italian girl living under the watchful eye of her mother, she remained a virgin up until she and her husband took their wedding vows.

When she got upstairs, Federico had already taken off his pants and his hairy legs were in full view.
Again, Sophia ran downstairs to her mother and cried out, "Mama, Mama, Federico took off his pants and he's got big hairy legs!"
"Don't worry so much, Sophia,” her mother said again.. "All good men have hairy legs. Federico's a good man. Go upstairs, he'll take good care of you…"
When she got upstairs, Federico had already taken off his socks, and much to her surprise he was missing three toes on his left foot.
When Sophia saw this, she ran downstairs and cried out, "Mama, Mama, Federico's got a foot and a half!"
