German & Abuelo

Like grandfather like son...
In 2005 we lived in BYU married housing and Abuelo came to stay with us for a few nights. One morning German woke up and smelled smoke. He entered the kitchen and saw flames and smoke coming from the gas stove top. Dear abuelo was washing the dishes totally unaware of the fire. He thought he was heating up the water in our 'electric kettle' to make some mate for breakfast. Actually when he saw the smoke he said "German, what did you do???" We love abuelo Oscar and hope we have a little boy someday to name after him.

Earlier this week German was getting ready for work here at his dad's house in Dallas. We just drove all weekend from Utah and he was pretty tired. He thought he had grabbed his dad's teapot to heat up some water for mate, but he didn't. He grabbed our electric kettle and the flames melted the plastic. We had a good laugh, he and abuelo are so alike.
