Quirks of living in town

I love living out in town here! I just had the funniest thing happen to me. The doorbell just rang and usually when that happens, it means some random worker is coming over sent by the landlord. I open the door and there is an older German gentleman standing there looking so very picturesque of a typical country farmer. He starts speaking in German, all out full speed ahead. My first thought it, he's definitely not a worker, (the landlord usually warns them we're German language impaired lol) oh no! this means he's probably selling something. I interrupt him with an "entschuldigen, spreche ich English." (I'm sorry, I speak English) He tells me that he speaks a little bit of English so we continue our conversation in Germ-glish. He's holding in his hands a small knife and a half apple and before he starts explaining himself he slices off a hunk of apfel (apple) and hands it to me to try. I start having Disney flash-backs of the old witch giving Snow White an apple. LOL I tell myself to stop being paranoid and take the apple and try a bite - admittedly still thinking of Snow White. LOL No fainting and I havent seen any little dwarves yet, so far.

So anyway, he tells me that he's selling fruit and asks if I want any. Also managing to pat my belly and remind me how good it all is for the baby. LOL I mean, seriously, how can you turn these people down. They are just so nice and charming. So I ask him how much for apples and Clementines (yum!) and he tells me such and such per kilo... then says "how much you want? 5? 10? 20? kilo" *GASP* My mind begins to race... I still get confused, which is more a pound or a kilo so I just say 5 kilos each. So he comes back with 2 GIANT packed bags full of clementines and Apples and tells me I need to make sure they're taken out of the bags or they'll go bad. All I can think is OMGoodness what am I going to do with all this fruit!?!?! HAHA Apple pie anyone?!

I was just thinking this morning that I need to get some fruit in this house because I keep attacking the boys' Halloween bags, I think God heard me. LOL
