The Littlest Gestapo

At a friendly BBQ this weekend, our neighbor off-handedly calls his 4-year old daughter the “Little Gestapo” because she likes to tattle on younger children and stop them when she thinks they’re breaking rules.

We all laughed because it was so incongruous to compare his adorable blond tattler to the most notorious secret police in history. Then we all had a drink. Then we laughed again, because our neighbor’s daughter is also German.
