Now, I’ll be real honest with you — this post doesn’t pertain to Denglish in any way. There are no mistranslations or German idioms lacking cultural context. This is just one blind swing in the endless series of haymakers which comprise my German wife’s sense of humor.
THE WIFE: “Why would a grown man need a to-do list? Am I your mother? No! So here is your list for today…
To-Do List for Complete Retards:
- Please eat something.
- Please clean the dishes afterward.
- Don’t forget to breathe.”

Sounds like very sensible advice, if you ask me. I need a to-do list just to get out of bed anymore.

I know some Germans that live through their day with a to-do-list.
I remember it was kind of wired and funny at the same time. Made me wonder if I need one too ..
