I've been resisting the urge to tell 'Dad' stories, but y'all will probably
enjoy them.

How I knew my Dad was an American...
- I asked him if he thinks in German or English, and he said English (and
sometimes when he's speaking German, he sometimes says the English word and
doesn't realize the difference... )
- Bought a Japanese car
- Thinks that spending the afternoon watching (American) football is
productive
- Occaisionally refers to 'those Germans'
- The "$20" in his pocket when he arrived in America was recently increased
to "$60"
- Changing his underwear everyday isn't such a big deal.

Sign me, (just this once)
