That reminds of the day I found a dusty box in the basement labelled ‘beer glasses’ in my grandmother’s handwriting. I opened it and it was full of tiny coupe glasses.

They have the same ‘youth word of the the year’ or ‘youth slang’ lists in German. One time one of our German teachers tried to discuss it with us to talk about the evolution of language, but none of us had ever heard even a single one of them. The most ridiculous one was ‘pocket dragon’ (Taschendrache, a lighter).
Is it just me or does his mouth look ridiculously small compared to the rest of his face?
I have a coat with button-down shoulder straps, I sometimes use them to loop the strap of my handbag.
My cat was scared of mice and spiders. If a spider would walk towards her, she would go slowly backwards while keeping eye-contact with the spider. But she figured out how to open the soft square cat food tins.
All the charity/thrift shops in my area only accept certain brands and items that are a maximum of 3 years old. Anything else, even vintage items, get tossed and shredded.
I like how unimpressed he seems.
For a brief second I thought the stun ring was a cock ring. Maybe they could make a 2-in-1 model.
Imagine if they had tried to stop an air force member wearing theirs.
They once opened my dad’s bag because of something and things got a bit weird when they found some women’s underwear my mom had shoved in there last minute. Imagine a 6'4 viking with some size S floral underwear.
Video games taught me a fair chunk of my English vocabulary, school just taught me the basics for using it.
The stamp on the letter reads 24/10/10, so Kubo must have gotten it around that time. Of course it could have been written long before that.
Since I started playing Sims 10+ years ago I seem to have a weird ‘bug’ in Sims 2, 3 and 4 — I’ve never had a burglar show up. I only found out online that they are supposed to be in the game.
I always put my blanket at the bottom of the door to block the light.
Video games taught me how to read and the internet taught me English. If I wanted to be good at a game, I had to be able to read the dialogue boxes. If I wanted/needed information that wasn’t (yet) available in German (often tips or cheat codes for games), I had to read the English version. I still read traditional…
I live in Germany and in 5th grade we got a new student from Canada. Our English teacher hated him. She, a woman in her 60s, felt undermined by an 11-year old.

My mom’s favourite sweater has perfect Cheshire cat stripes. The best thing? My mom has never seen Alice in Wonderland.
