As I’ve said before, all of our friends are having babies. The Wife and I are in our early 30s — the real baby-making years — so you can imagine how the infants are dropping all around us like soft pink raindrops. And it isn’t just our friends; it’s friends of friends. Third cousins, casual acquaintances and co-workers… they’re all multiplying like gremlins.
My German wife is still on the fence about the whole ‘having kids’ idea (as am I), so she really notices when someone in her daily life is about to make sperm blossoms. She has all sorts of colorful ways for describing the different stages of human gestation, and I was not at all surprised when she said of her new co-worker:

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
I remember sitting around our fire pit back in Canada with German friends before moving here and the subject of dental hygiene came up. We were trying to explain to them what “gums” were and then one of them said “ahh…you mean zahnfleisch!” Captain Canada and I looked on in confusion and another friend informed us that it just meant “tooth meat.” Now that we know the language better it all makes sense but at the time I spat out a perfectly good drink over “tooth meat.”
