36. "If German was good enough for Martin Luther, it's good enough for me."
Edited on Fri Jul-22-11 02:35 AM by Adsos Letter
So said the father of one of my old History professors who was, himself (the father), a published scholar of Martin Luther at a Lutheran Seminary in the upper midwest; hence, his insistence that his kids learn to speak German around the house. :D

PS: wasn't intentionally trying to correct your spelling; Sturm und Drang was an often used phrase around here when my daughters reached the age when "boys" entered the picture. :D :hi:

EDIT: moved a smilie.
