Thursday's "chat with Oma on the drive home day"... I get caught up on everything in that 30 minute phone conversation. There's the news, things read in the "real paper" and "the other paper" (usually Star or In Touch), the weather, games shows (don't get her started on Deal or No Deal...that games show makes the woman see RED when people are greedy), and of course her books she's reading.
Apparently the latest read made her very mad. She told me on the phone that she wants to write a letter to the author and tell her she's "a dirty pig" and she writes "dirty and foul"... we have a little German tirade (something along the lines of the "the author should geht zum Tuefel" or go to Hell- with her dirty, foul, writing.). Evidently this author used "four letter words, you know the ones, I hear you use them- in every sentence. FOUR letter words, EVERY sentence. And all the sex... never in my life have I read so much sex. Is that all people do? Lay in the bed with each other and have sex? This is why the world is an awful place. Nobody cares about God or religion- they just want sex. Times were so much better when I was younger."
Now, when Oma was younger- there was WWII going on and she was a prisoner in a work camp. I'd rather live now- with FOUR letter words and books about sex than live in a war torn country and be a prisoner in a work camp in Russia. But that's just me.
Maybe I should geht zum Tuefel too....
