Our house is a bit hidden and it's difficult to find the door in the dark, so we spent a nice quiet evening yesterday.

Me to two small witches -
"Hi, witches!"
Witches' little brother behind them -
"I'm not a witch, I'm a knight!"
Witches in unison -
"Shut up, Kevin".

Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
The rest of us are a bit crap.

That was why I gave a summary.
Oh and I believe the word "ketchup" is the same in Luxembourgish as in English.
Now found it in English

Wow - that was interesting. It's amazing how much Letzebourgish I did understand. I wonder how much I would have got without the summary, though.
