... so she spent a lot of time living both in Germany AND the U.S. and she went to
American schools the whole time. Her German accent was USUALLY barely noticeable
to casual acquaintances.
.
She had a pet name for "Little MFM" -- Fido. I thought it was cute but odd, but didn't
think to ask her WHY for quite a while.
.
When I did, she told me that a character in a novel had impressed her -- with his
description of an orgasm in an Italian version of "a little death".
.
The character was Fido (a reasonable German-oriented guess)... and the novel was
"The Godfather".
.
Fido Corleone.

Vito to the rest of us.
