It's raining because you didn't finish your plate.
Do we say this in the states? I have never heard this saying until recently.
According to David this downpour we are currently experiencing is somehow my fault because he always finishes my food.
That would be my birthday lunch at my favorite little hippie cafe. Did I mention my birthday was 2 weeks ago? Yeah, I turned 27. Wow, I feel old. Except not. Working at a university makes me feel like a am back in college again, except there are no exams or homework. Just long days. Especially since I am younger than almost all of my colleagues. :) Got to love that we finish high school at 18 and college at 22 (unless you are me and finish at 23), unlike the Germans who finish high school at 19 (it used to be 20) and finish college in their late 20s depending on the degree.
Did I mention that I am a Nikolas Kind? Yep, the German Santa comes to visit the Deutsche Kinder on my birthday. This means that many stores you go to, give out chocolate on my birthday (how thoughtful of them).
I even got a card in the mail for my birthday from my Aunt who thinks I am still 26 (I'll take it ;) )
Here's to my 28th year and many more.

I would however like to point out that I did finish this plate of food.
And I helped with this one, too.
