WINKLER, MB
Relatives at an Ens family gathering this past week reluctantly obliged their 90-year-old matriarch by singing a verse of ‘Holy God, We Praise Thy Name’ in German even though they had already sung the whole darn thing in English.
“I had no clue what was going on,” said 18-year-old grand-daughter Erin. “I had thought we were all done with the hymn-singing when all of a sudden Aunt Helen says, ‘let’s do one in German yet for mother.'”
The song was sung as slowly as possible, which greatly pleased the older generation, but aggravated the youngsters to no end.
“I can’t take it anymore!” shouted Erin, who immediately began texting all her friends when they were halfway through ‘ .’ “I love you Grandma, but this is more mildly-out-of-tune German singing than I can take!”
