Many years ago, my father visited America, from Europe, for the very
first time. He wanted to go with me to the supermarket, so I invited him along.
Going up and down the aisles with me, he asked questions about things he saw.
"Vas diss?? Powdered orange juice??" he asked.
I said, "Yes, Dad, you just add a little water, and you have fresh orange
juice."
A few minutes later, in a different aisle, he blurted out, "Und vas dis??
Powdered milk?".
I said, "Yes, Dad, you just add a little water, and you have fresh milk!"
A few minutes later, in a different aisle, he yelled out,
"Und give a look here!! Baby Powder!! Vat a country, vat a country!"
