We both commented on how cool that was…..

Since Suzette has defective ears, she’s always asking me to sing the songs. When she did it this time, I simply told her I couldn’t because I didn’t speak German, even though I wish I did since that would mean I would understand what was going on on the History Channel more than half the time……
