The big crisis today was that Mallory got a cut on his cheek.
Isn't he a little young for dueling scars? Maybe you should keep him away from the other knife-fighting toddlers for a while.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think it's okay to cry over spilt $100 perfume. Also, I will never think that my BPAL perfume is expensive again.
well, it was 100ml, so it was a lot of perfume.

Did you tell him "Danke"? (But NOT "Bitte")

Punishingly Intricate
bitte
eta means ... little? all my 8th grade German is gone except kopf with the word for "potato" (that I can't come close) to spelling modifying it.

A variation is the frammistat, which frequently has to be replaced.
Let's get precise, shall we? It's the frammistat in the jimjam that needs replacing. At least, around the family I grew up with.
Raq, poor Mal! Now you're going to have to enroll him in Heidelberg University.
sj, even if your landlord can't do anything about it, I'm sure that you or your landlord can contact the owner of the flat up above to present your complaint. Is there a condo association that handles both of these residences that you can get in touch with?

What is even happening?
The (from Germany) German people I knew said "Bitte," very much like how it looks, if you read the "e" as a schwa.
Oh, poor Mal (and Raq, and Robert). Raq, I'm sorry for the extended family circus stuff. You're wise to make plans for Mal, too.
