“I cut it twice and it’s still too short.”
That was my dad’s favorite saying...except he always said it in German! He was born in Germany and came to the states when he was 3, so he basically learned English as his first language. Not sure how much German was spoken at home, but he spoke some.
But it was always hilarious to hear him say it in German. I just remember “zweimal” and that’s it. I’d make a stupid goof in the shop, get really angry at myself, and he’s say that. I calmed down immediately. Dear old dad...miss him so much.
Ich habe es zweimal geschnitten, aber es ist immer noch zu kurz(?)
