Me: Um, Owen, I can’t read German

Owen: PLEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSEEEEEYOU’RESOMEANIWANTMYMOMSHEWOULDNEVERDOTHISTOMEWAAAAAAHIHATEYOU

Me: Fine fine! I’ll read the book… Der Fuchs wachte im Wald. Was zum Teufel ist dieser. Ich weiß nicht einmal, was zum Teufel ist los.

Owen: NO! Say it in English!

Me: *silently fumes*

Nanny Diaries: Unspeakable Horrors
