Today, I excitedly told my family that, after years of studying and dedication, I've been awarded a full scholarship to Germany. My mom's reaction was to start sobbing about me becoming a "heathen" and my dad and brother started telling Nazi jokes. FML

Wow, it must've taken a lot of concentration to come up with those puns. Frankly, I don't think I could do that.

I've been trying to think of a pun but I can't really concentrate on it. I might need a glass of jews and a cookie out of the oven to get me motivated.

Just like when Westley worked hard on the Dread Pirate Roberts ship and then finally became the Dread Pirate Roberts and because of his hard work he also saved the love of his life!

What exactly is she proving them wrong about? They didn't handle the news to OP's satisfaction but they never said she's gonna fail.

37 - I've only seen two of your comments today, but both were princess bride related. Its a good movie, but did you like just watch it, or are you just that addicted to it? lol

#37 has made a ton of Princess Bride related quotes on multiple FMLs. It may be the best movie ever, but the comments are getting pretty redundant when that's ALL you comment about.

But seriously, what does Germany have to do with becoming a heathen?

Agreed. If America didn't already ruin you, I don't think Germany will.

To become a heathen does not mean to be ruined ^.

@7 My guess would be that the family is quite religious and concerned that the OP is going to a substantially more secularist country. Thereby pulling him away from the family's hard line stance on which ever faith they ascribe too. Believing, that OP's new living arrangements will result in OP becoming a heathen, no matter how ridiculous a belief that may be.

Well, Norse pagans tend to use the term "heathen" to describe themselves, if memory serves.

I'd rather be a heathen than a believer.

OP, don't let them get you down. Even though I'm sure they mean it all in good humor, it's understandable that you'd be upset. But you worked very hard to get where you are. Good job, and best of luck.

What do your folks have against Germany? Descendents of the holocaust?

No. If he does that they'll sue him for emotional distress.
