while living in ITaly I had my Appendix out, 10 days later we went by train to Germany for visit with my family there.
talking about me, hubby, 2 small kids and my mom. We arrive after 2 days on trains in Berlin at my Aunts apt. She gives me a big hug stands back and says.."OH my dear such a long trip after your hospital stay, you must need a nice hot douche by now!"
I was floored and my mom was laughing so hard so had to RUN to the bathroom. In Germany, a nice hot douche means a nice hot SHOWER!
WE still giggle over that one!
