We were beginning to doubt those “plays well with others” remarks on our report cards, but we’re happy to say that we’ve redeemed our social lives. We spent last night drinking beer, talking politics and stereotypes and connecting over family and life with our new friends, David and Nadine. Well, Nadine skipped the beer drinking because she’s due in a month. David works with me and invited us to come over for dinner. Nadine’s sister and brother-in-law live in Philadelphia and he’s therefore developed a love for America. They both speak English quite well, which is a bonus for Dan-inclusive conversation. Their 2 ½ year-old son, Cedric, also offered his opinion now and again. He’s a stereotypical blond German kid, so cute that we could only laugh when he started acting quite his age. David told us that we were the first coworkers he’d invited over (in 6 years), but he could tell we had similarities and would get along…and people don’t expect Germans to be nice! We went home this morning with their spare DVD player in hand and a set of English movies to get us started. Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
