   Susie told us a detailed version of the creation story and nothing about evolution! Some actual info about evolution would help kids (and adults) more than “go tell your teacher he’s stupid [even if you don't know why]“.

   Also, I want to know what the German for “smartypants” is – 9 something something?

   It’s only the beginning of the actual book, hence the creation story. Her name in German is Susi Neunmalklug, Smartypants sounds a bit better than the more literal translation ‘nine times clever’.

   That, and their refusal to hand out anymore blank checks to the rest of the EU makes Deutschland more appealing as a place to reside.

   Thanks, that makes more sense on both counts.

   Also, I never knew German kids had such funky haircuts!
