German Embassy Fail
I got this idea in my head, which meant I was immediately excited. Hey, if I had a Mexican passport, and a United States passport... why the fuck wouldn't I want to get the German passport too? My dad's TOTALLY german. I could be too! Then I could go country hopping in Europe, stay as long as I wanted to, work legally and stress-free, and come back to Pesoland a millionaire. OH yeah. OOOHHHH YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!
Oh wait, but my dad gave up his German citizenship to become an American. "That's ok," they said. "His birth certificate will be enough," they all said. I wanted to believe them, so I did.
So this morning, I wake my cocky ass up and prance on over to the German Embassy. "Yeah, hallo window girl, Ich mochte einen Pass, biatch!" She tells me she doesn't think there will be any problem at all. All I needed was my dad's passport, etc etc. When I mentioned that he had become a US citizen, she added, "Oooooohhhh, if he gave up his Germanness BEFORE you were born, there's nothing we can do, if it was after, you're awesome and willkommen. You need to find that out."
*FLASHBACK*
Mom: Oh yeah yeah, you're dad gave up his german self so that I could be legal in the states. Then we got married. A month later, you were born.
*END FLASHBACK*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Dreams shattered.
My aunt confirmed my flashback in a private message via Facebook (my dad can't tell a computer apart from a TV).
I'm doomed. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
At least the NY plan is still doable.
It was an emotional day you guys. An emotional day.
