My German host-father asked me "Was hat deine Freundin gesagt?" in regards to the US presidential election. I looked at him blankly for a bit because I translated it as "What has your girlfriend said?" He clarified that he meant Erin, a female friend of mine (who has found me on Arocalypse and can see all the embarrassing stuff I have posted on here). See, in German, "Freundin" can mean "girlfriend" or "female friend" based on how it's used. Given that Thomas just used "Freundin" and expected me to know who I was talking about, I guess he thinks Erin is my girlfriend?? He doesn't think I have just one female friend, right? I didn't attempt to clarify my relationship with Erin because...well...I'm just not up to it today. The election has made me a wreck.
