Funny that this story coincides with German National Unity Day (today, October 3rd).

My daughter and I found a Euro coin on the sidewalk. Usually it’s her who finds money, and it goes into her piggy bank (which is really a cow-y bank, but you might have guessed that). Anyway, she looked at the back of the coin, which happened to be a German one (that’s where the National Unity Day comes in).
If you’re not familiar with Euro coins, this is what it looks like:

She: “A parrot!”
Me: “Actually, it’s an eagle.”
She: “Like a bat.”

I hope the German eagle will not be offended by this comparison. Though coming from my daughter, a huge bat fan (as you’ll remember from this entry), it’s actually more like a compliment.
