One of our new teachers this year is from Germany. She's been over here a good 20 years, but she still has a German accent.
Her name is Gesine, pronounced ga-zeen-a. She told us we could call her "Sine", pronounced zeen-a. So now we all call her Xena: Princess Warrior. I don't think she minds. Kinda too late if she does.
She gave me one of the hand-outs she gives the kids to teach them some everyday German. There's no English translations on the hand-out and she asked me if I wanted her to give me the translations. I said no, I think I'll struggle with it for a while.
Yesterday, after we did a library search (a connector was missing from one of our SMART Boards), Xena gave me some chocolate from Germany.
It had rum in it.

seriously now, you end that story right before the most entertaining part. Go on mom, tell them all how you got tipsy off a piece of chocolate
So I'm a lightweight, a cheap date, can't hold my liquor (in my chocolate). And I spent Friday evening sleeping off the chocolate on the couch.
Thanks for coming in on your mom - that is the best part of the story.
I thought so :)
