Inga-isms

(Inga, the legend herself!)

My mom has become sort of a legend to my friends.  You see, she has been in this country (she was born in Germany) for more than 40 years, and she still hasn't gotten this English thing down. 

My friends hope that she answers the phone so that they may be blessed with an Inga-ism. What is an Inga-ism, you ask?  Well, an Inga-ism is any phrase that my mom says that would normally not make sense if anyone else said it.  

Enjoy!

 

1.  Kal's in the toilet.  The grand-daddy of them all!  My mom uses this phrase when I'm in the bathroom and can't get to the phone.  She has ruined many a date for me in the past.

11.  Kal, would you like some warm chocolate milk?  Hot Chocolate never sounded so good!

12.  Kal, will there be any stripers at the bachelor party?  Mom wanting to know what kind of fish there will be.
