The Manzos Have a Sense of Humor. Capisce?

Caroline tells Olive Garden, "CALL ME."

By Lauren Metz


The Real Housewives of New Jersey's third season kicked off with a bang... and ended as a laughing matter?

"@CarolineManzo we are only 1/16 Italian?!" Lauren Manzo tweeted her mom, calling out Teresa Giudice's "joke" in Fabulicious that questioned Caroline's lineage... and meatballs. "You told me 100%!!!!! LIAR.... what's next???! Am I adopted?!?!??"

Joining in on the mother country cackle, mama Caroline tweeted, "Dear @OliveGarden - need a national spokesperson? CALL ME.... ps.... I'm 100% Italian – TRUTH." Dina Manzo, Caroline's baby sister and Teresa's baby's godmother asked her followers, "God, I wonder what everyone is going to think when MY book comes out. It's a tell all ya know...hahaaaa Kidding! Why can't we all get along?"

To steer clear of yet another family dramarama, Kathy Wakile clarified, "For the record @richardwakile put that in a clean trash liner, I still have teresas book ! He was joking."

But who's getting the last laugh? Teresa blogged, "Caroline and her kids make fun of everyone and each other all the time. That's one of the things that makes them fun to be around -- they're always joking... Since the book came out, not one person, not ONE, has ever written me or said to me at one of my book signings that what I wrote about Caroline was mean. And I sold a lot of books."
