My grandpa

Posted by: Dietzsch ()

Date: April 06, 2001 03:29PM

<HTML>Reminds me of my grandpa. He -being Dutch- was a... miller! Kid you not. Before the war, he used to trade flour and grain to Germany. He never officially learned any German, so his solution for the gender of words was very simple:

Das Mann
Das Frau
Das Hund
Das Haus (hey, he did have a 1 in 3 chance to get it right

)

During the later years of the war, he and his family lived on flour-based stuff only and they were the lucky ones, as there was a big famine in \'44-\'45.
