Hey y'all!

This morning when I was walking Grady through the field, a beautiful golden retriever came trotting up right behind him. I said to his owner "mein ist nicht so freundlich" (which I hope means "mine isn't so friendly") and I was taken aback when he responded with a Southern accent, "why don't you just let him off his leash?" I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since I think a lot of expats live in our neighborhood, but it was still unexpected. Of course, it also made me realise my German must be really bad if an American hears it and immediately can tell I speak English instead of German.
