Die Zeitung? Hast du die Zeitung auf Deutsch?

Nein! Ich bin Deutsch
Is there anyone in your house the speaks English?
Nein! Wir komme nach Deutschland und wir sprecht only Deutsch
Do you under stand me?
Nein. No
You speak a little English Maam
Nein.
Hang up the phone. That was the conversation between me and the lady with the LA Times. We get almost daily calls from them trying to get us to sign up for the paper. My new tactic... speak German. Because you know they will find someone who can speak Spanish to me. So now I have a new way to treat telemarketers... bring it on!
Oh and Matthew was around when this happened and could not stop laughing! Well, he could not stop laughing once I told him what I was saying later. He thought I was talking to my mom.

thats awesome. i wish i spoke german so i can do that to people.
Ha, very clever, I enjoyed that I could understand what you said to them... I don't enjoy that I have to type the stupid little word verification when I leave you a comment. I'm not buying concert tickets.
i also liked that i could mostly understand. and this is quite funny. have they stopped calling?
