Mario's son, Mario, was a hell raiser of a child and into all sort of mischief. Mario Sr. used to chase him around the house with the belt when he was in trouble.
This house, at 30-32 Frances Ave, Cranston, RI, was a three family house. Not just three families, but one big family. Three sisters, two of them married to brothers, lived there with their seven children, all cousins.
Mario lived on the second floor. Through the second floor they ran and down the front door, back through the first floor, up the stairs to the third floor, back down out the front door and off down the street.
Mario Sr. would sit and wait on the second floor porch, biding his time, for Mario Jr. would always have to come home.
One time during these chases, Mario Jr. leaped into the bed he shared with his brother, Vincent. He pushed Vincent onto the side Mario usually slept on and quickly covered both of them. Mario Sr. came in and in a rage mistook Vincent for Mario and beat him instead.
