Nicht wahr?

(1990 May, after Mother's Day)

[Sherry,] I think the sentence I wrote baffled you because I was making fun of the German language. Using that, you can write, or say, a very long statement and then put nicht (not) at the end and negate the whole thing. Always gives me a jolt. I was thinking Skip would be reading the letter out loud and explaining that to you, if I thought at all.
