Ahhhh….another glorious Saturday with the Oma. And I know on everyone’s mind is: Will Oma purchase things from Alaska now that Palin is resigning?????? I asked, and the answer is a flat NO. Oma’s reasoning: I don’t want to support a state that elects an uneducated person into office. Her husband is a manual worker, so he didn’t go to school, so she mustn’t have gone to school herself.
Yes, only the uneducated married the uneducated and the schooled married the schooled.
Another concern I’m sure some may have is the Chinese toothbrush. How will Oma keep her non-pearly white dentures clean? Have no fear- I found one for her at Big Lots made in Germany. Thank you Crest. And Oma whipped out her magnifying glass to be sure that the toothbrush actually said “Made in Germany”. I have no doubt this will be the best toothbrush she ever purchased.
And a closing comment made by Oma as we passed a large new Ford truck, parked in a handicap space, while walking into the produce store…
O: Shau mal das grosses tuck an. (non German/English hybrid speakers: Look at that big truck.) How can an invalid afford such a thing?
M: Oma- just because you are an invalid, it doesn’t mean you have no money. And just because you can park in handicap it doesn’t mean you are invalid.
Rock out, invalid.
