An interesting perspective on the #MilitaryBrat I had not considered. https://kolektiva.social/@LeftistLawyer/113357313556992572

I have a confession to make. I lived in Germany when I was about 3 years old. That's not the confession. But my first candy ever was Haribo Gummibärchen (Gummi Bears ). It was what I received when I was good or to be appeased as a child. Let's just say that a German brand candy in Germany is rather accessible and I buy them all the time. Sugar + Nostalgia = Happy feels.

Also I was a strange child and I confused my parents to death by loving things like Jägersoße and Champinion-Rahmsoße. I've also always loved Kohl ( cabbage ) based things and after Potatoes and Onions the sheer quantities of cabbage germans will eat is just off the scale. My restaurant alone prepares Weiss, Grün and Rot Kohl. Germans generally have a either or check list of "Is it a root" or "Is it a bitter leafy cruciferous vegatable", if yes than put it in my mouth. Oh my holy fuck the Asparagus Germans will eat. They will eat so much that they have to start importing it from Poland.

Anyways: My brain also does this check list and goes "OH GODS DELICIOUS. OH GODS RELEASE THE ENDORPHINS".

TL;DR German cuisine is cheater mode endorphins and comfort for me because I was here when I was three.

Tell me you're an #USArmyBrat without telling me you're a Military brat.

Does this dandelion puffball not look like a diva with her gala outfit on?

So our neighbors, whom we like more than any other neighbors we've ever had, left town today. They've been emptying their house for a month. Today was the real "goodbye."

As a military brat, saying goodbye is something I've done a lot. It's never fun. As a child, it meant "forever." These days, there's email and Zoom if you want to stay in touch.

But one of our neighbors was a special friend to me. His name is "Bruzer."

And dogs don't use email.

I wrote this for my mom when I was in the 1st grade:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You light me up,
Like a B-52.

(I'm an #AirForceBrat #MilitaryBrat #OSB 🤪)

So!
Who else is an #OSB #OverSeasBrat #MilitaryBrat?
My high school was across the street from the longest paved runway in the world.
