Yesterday when I came home from work this shirt was waiting for me! I showed it to my sister, who looked at it for a second and then said, "I don't get it." At this point, our German exchange student walked into the room, pointed at the shirt, and said, "Oh! The early bird gets the worm." Not only did she understand the shirt, but she also knew the American idiomatic expression used. In conclusion, Germans are smarter than my sister.
