On my way home this last Thursday I unknowingly sat by some tween German girls. I was listening to my head phones for most of the time, so I couldn't hear them talking, but I realized they were Germans so I started listening for a few minutes before I got off. As it turns out, they were ripping on the passengers they were sitting near, greatly enjoying the fact that they could speak with immunity. Had I had the time, I would have loved to have asked them something nonchalantly in German, just to let them know that I understood them. Unfortunately, I didn't end up having the time. It's probably for the best, talking to a group of twittering middle-schoolers in German would probably have been bad news; it would have been like Harry Potter talking to the snake in parsel-tongue in book 2.
Three hours? Where did you go?
