These days, we commemorate the end of World War II in Europe. In which two toddlers deliberately sabotage five German army cars.

My mother and I were not told that I had to fetch wood from the forest. Adults were shot dead for that. I calmly scolded German soldiers. And they wanted to hug me too. Bah!
