It is impossible to overstate the wonderfulness of my German class. Yesterday I bought a newspaper! And read some of it! Here is yesterday's leading headline for the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger:
"Clinton: Obama kann Vize sein: US-Politikerin siegt in Vorwahlen von Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island"
That says: Obama can be the Vice-President-- US-Woman Politician triumphs in Primaries in....
Whoa. So I learned very surreally what had happened in that last primary. They even mentioned how many delegates each candidate has now! And that Mike Huckabee has stepped down (Rückzug).
I have also been listening to the radio a lot. Today I heard about whether German women normally shave their armpits (Achselhaare-- I had to look that crazy word up) among other fascinating topics. (And I know what all you Americans are thinking-- especially my parents) My favorite radio program is, naturally, the one for children where one can hear hilarious things like a song in English detailing the biography of James Brown.

Well, Sarah, do German women normally shave their armpits? You left us without a definitive answer. We're keeping track - French no, German?
Your Great Aunt Maxine is thanking Ohio for Clinton's surge in the primaries.
I often find children's programs more entertaining.
Actually, I have to admit that I wasn't listening that closely to the armpit hair program (besides learning the word for armpit hair), and I don't remember what the consensus was! But, based on my ballet classes, I would say the answer is that German women shave their pithair. However, that is not a definitive sample, so one can more safely say that German women who take ballet class shave their armpits.
