DH being unintentionally funny
I was going to post this a few days ago and didn't get around to it. Maybe now is the time...
DH and I usually speak German, but sometimes he'll put on his worst German accent and say an English sentence with a German word or two mixed in. Like "I vant to be going to zee Markt." (German for market, in case you couldn't figure that out ;-)).
The other day I was going into town and asked him if he wanted to take a shower before I went so he didn't have to deal with DD while showering. To understand his reply, you should know that the German word for "to shower" is "duschen," pronounced "dousche-en" (ignore the s - I think the bump will block the word if it's spelled correctly).
So his reply to my question? "Yez, I vould like to dousche now."
I then had to explain between giggles what exactly "dousche" means in English and why it's physically impossible for him to do it.

Haaahahaha. I've had to explain that one before, too. :-)
I love when DH plays around with accents. I'm so bad at this, but he does a really good "bad German English," and he also does a really good American English. Watch Retutlingen TV sometime, then your DH can work on Swabian English
