Mr. Excitement



Liam is starting to really like playing all by himself, ESPECIALLY in his baby jail. What a nut! Sometimes I can wrangle him into reading Pat the Bunny with me, but otherwise he is off exploring.






In disappointing Germany news--- the woman at the butcher shop scammed me!!! I asked for a quarter kilo of beef in two pieces, and the scale read 500g. Upon gently reminding the woman that I had asked for a QUARTER kilo of beef, she said in a huff, "yes, a quarter kilo is 500 grams". I became flabbergasted and doubted my metric abilities, and paid up for the HALF kilo.

(1 kilo= 1000g)

Bad, bad, bad. You win this time, lady. For shame, taking advantage of a foreigner.

(PS- the word for quarter in German sounds nothing like the word for half. I'll admit I have an accent, but that wasn't it)
