Some of our relatives from Germany are coming to Vancouver (they actually arrived two days ago). You know why I've been dreading this for a month?

Because I haven't spoken German for two years. Not since other relatives came two summers ago.

They're staying for two weeks. Then you know what's happening? More relatives are coming. Precisely one day after the first two leave.

Ugh.

Not that they're not nice people, it's just I can't speak German very well anymore.
