In spite of my roots, well the largest percentage of my roots anyway, German scares me. I think I will have a better chance with Spanish or Italian. With either one of those, I could start out at least having some idea what I was saying, sometimes anyway. But with German.........

Remember when JFK was trying to speak German and he supposedly said, "I am a jelly doughnut."

Well, I never knew if that story was true or not, but I just don't think I would have any idea what I was saying in German. And I am so afraid I would say that I am a jelly doughnut and everybody would just say, "Yes, Boomer, we know."
