my brother's girlfriend spent the summer overseas, and she sent him a package from Germany that arrived yesterday! now, if you know anything about shipping internationally, you have to fill out a form detailing everything in the package, that gets plastered to the outside of the package. so my mom brings in the mail, and she's reading this list

LOL! Oh, that must have been so funny. Reminds me of my uncle on a business trip in Mexico recently where he told all his clients that he was "embarazada" instead of "verguenza". Pregnant instead of embarrassed!

He was all excited too.
