Wonder if they come in alien sizes.

Dear Blog Thingy,

My sister made it known that her Turkish husband's childhood friends in Germany wanted to meet more of our family, specifically me. I wrote back: "Good Gawd, what have you been telling them about me???!"

She replied, "That you're an intellectual, artistic gay of a guy but, basically, to hear another typical American accent to converse with. I slip occasionally - disadvantage of marrying a foreigner and talking to foreigners."

Great. If/when I finally go there to visit they're gonna grill me to death. I didn't know my American accent had any value to it. At least I now have a standing invitation for a place to stay whenever I go there.
