word of the day: rutschig

it means slippery.

sometimes you learn a word and forget it because you don't end up using it for a couple days, and then when you would like it, it is already forgotten. i learned rutschig and most of it's variations i couple of weeks ago in class and was delighted when i got to use it the next day, and the next, and the next.

rocco's youngest son, jaron, is the main attraction when it comes to rutschen (slipping). he's about 3 and a half (3,5 if you wanna look at it German-ically. they use commas where we in the US would use points. not always easy to get used to) and he falls on his face. a lot.

but we all slip in this way or that. things slip my mind more often than jaron's feet from underneeth himself. this makes it hard to learn new words here and there, but i'm getting better.

.jrs.
