Das ist gross

  I would like to tell all of you about my experience with the wild life here in Rhienbach.  After dinner I went into the bathroom to wash my face and get ready for bed.  I open the door and I see to antennas poking out above the shower.  I go closer to get a better look at just what it was and I see that its a giant bug.  It looked more like a huge leaf off of a tree but it had huge eyeballs, and it was all green, and its legs were long like a spiders.  I went to caro and said that there was a huge bug in the bathroom.  She didnt undertstand what I was saying so I took her into the bathroom.  It took me 5 minutes to find the bug because it had disapperead.  I than saw it and pointed it out, caro than ran screaming to her mom about the bug.  Her O-ma grabbed a stool from the kictched and brought it in the bathroom.  The poor old women looked as if she was going to die from shock from the size of this bug.  She told silke to get a cup from the kitched.  Silke got her a cup and than caro and I  went outside of the bathroom.  We herd O-ma slaming the cup everywhere.  I didnt see why she just didnt kill the thing, but I guess here in germany every living thing is viewed as well alive, but when I saw that bug I saw it as dead but thats just me.  So O-ma finally caught the enormous bug in her cup and she waded some toilet paper and put it in there.  Caro was half laughing and screaming and I was laughing because everyone was talking so fast but I could uderstand one thing and that was Das Ist gross; meaning that is big.  So I was laughing and silke was trying to hush us because poor jona was sleeping.  Caro flew open the door as if her life depended on it and o-ma took out the toilet paper and shook the cup outside.  O-ma came back in and caro was now fine, but I looked down at the piece of toliet paper in O-ma´s hand and I pointed and said the first thing in my head, but unfortunatly it was english so no one understood.  So I pointed down at the piece of toilet paper in o-ma´s hand and there she saw that the bug was on the paper.  She let out a scream and dropped the piece of paper.  She put the cup over it quickly this time she ran to the door and threw the piece of paper out as well.  She came back in and caro started to scream dance and pointed in the cup where the bug had now managed to go in.  O-ma looked like she was going to have a heart attack, silke was still trying to hush us because caro and I were laughing so hard now that tears were appearing, and poor jona was still sleeping.  O-ma flung the cup outside and than closed the door.  Finally the bug was now outside, and caro and I just kept laughing.  It would have to be the most grossest funniest moment here in germany so far.  But I will never be able to take the image of o-ma´s face and caro screaming das ist gross out of my head.
