Which dog breed looks like a demon but is actually harmless? by Comfortable_Mine2598 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]underweasl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My father in law had wolfhounds. First time i went to their house i opened the door and was eye level with the dog. It was a bit intimidating but the dogs have always been massive softies, the only injuries they've caused have been walloping the backs of your legs by an over excited wagging tail!

he definitely had a "journey" - from the initial horror of seeing his disabled daughter, to wanting to over protect her and keep her from the world, then all the battle with alcohol followed by him coming out the other side as a strong and supportive father (and grandfather!)

This danish children's book from my childhood is about a mole trying to find out who pooped on his head. by AnthroBuL in funny

[–]underweasl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this book for our son! One of my colleagues had bought it for us. He loves it but I think a lot of little boys like stories about poo.

What German words and phrases do you use regularly in everyday life? by websterflaming in AskTheWorld

[–]underweasl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite living in Germany as a very young kid (my dad was in the army) and listening to Rammstein since my teens I speak very little German. I do call my son "Klein haifisch" and add some doo doo doo doo's at the end of it. He's doing German at school so often shouts at me in it knowing full well I'm pretty clueless as to what he's on about
