This is a funny joke, I will share it with you.
An American couple have a child. The obstetrician comes into the delivery room after the birth to inform the couple that the baby is completely normal, besides the fact that it is German. The couple are very much confused, but after some deliberation they decide that this will not be a problem. As the child grows up, it begins dressing in lederhosen and develops an unusually strong fondness for saurkraut, but it can walk, sleep, eat, read, and so on. For some reason, however, the German child never speaks. The concerned parents consult their pediatrician, who reassures them that the German child is perfectly developed in all other areas, and that surely the speech facility will eventually blossom.
Years pass. The German child enters its teens and still will not speak, though in all other respects it is fully functional. The German child's mother is especially distressed by this, but attempts to conceal her sadness. One day she makes the German child, who is now seventeen years old and still silent, a bowl of tomato soup. She takes it to him through the parlor, where he is listening to a gramophone record player. Soon the German child appears in the kitchen and declares, "Mother, this soup is a little tepid." The German child's mother is astonished. "All these years," she is saying, "we assumed you could not speak. But it appears that you could all along. Why did you not say anything before?"
"Because Mother," answers the German child, "up until now, everything has been satisfactory."
