Last night's dinner conversation

I'm still trying to figure out how to write this thing. Seems like I had two address going so will try to add to this now and keep only on one.

Our neighbors here, in the house next door to our left, are from Germany. They spend a great deal of time on the chairs on the porch and we see them often as we come and go. The man speaks a bit of English, but difficult to understand. I don't think she speaks any English but she seems to understand some as she nods her head at the appropriate times even though she doesn't speak. He said he misses his computer to check his email. They do have some computers down by the office people can pay to use. We walked up to town to the restaurant and while eating dinner I mentioned to Dad it might be nice if he'd offer to let the German man borrow his computer. The conversation was funny, I thought. It went like this:

Me: Might be friendly to offer our neighbor to borrow your computer so he can check his email.

Dad: Where did you say they are from?

Me: They're Germans, from Germany!

Dad: Oh, I don't know, why can't they pay to use the computers down at the office?

Me: Sure, they can, I just thought it might be neighborly to use our computer.

Dad: I don't think I'm interested. By the way, you sure have a short memory.

Me: What do you mean?

Dad: Well, you know. World War II and all.

Me: Unbelievable, what you just said!!!
By the way, I do believe dad is a lot German himself. Dutch...German...Whatever.


I'll try to post this now and see if it adds to the one I wrote yesterday.
