breathy
on holiday, i sometimes get mistaken for a german, due to my colouring. this means that i get german people trying to talk to me and ask for directions, etc. ordinarily, i have no problem with this and help if i can.
however, one particular day, i was accosted by a large, elderly german woman, who clearly had something important she wanted to ask me. i leaned closer in order to hear better and, if possible, make out what she wanted.
this turned out to be a huge mistake. as she opened her mouth, i was almost floored by the foul cloud of eau de roadkill, gingivitis and cloves that wafted up my poor nostrils.
through grimly-clenched teeth, i managed to mutter "sorry, i don't speak german", before staggering off to deposit my breakfast in the nearest rosebush.

I was once mistaken for a German.
I was in Germany, at the time. I've never really considered myself to be particularly Teutonic looking, though.

it's odd
got the same colouring as the rest of my family, but i'm the one who tends to be mistaken for a german, even when we're in a group.

Is it because you indiscriminately go over the lines on the drawing the nice lady has given you
Or because you're never satisfied with what's in front of you so grab the drawings of everyone next to you for yourself?
