shrank \shrəŋk\ noun: Closets used in Germany to store clothes and dishes. They are not built into the house. Unlike other civilized nations, Germans take these closets with them when they move. The end result is that they probably don't fit in their new house and whoever moves into their old house probably doesn't have any to fit either. Problems arise when foriegners move into Germany without shranks.
shrank fatigue \shrəŋk fə-ˈtēg\ adj: The condition foriegners experience in Germany after looking for, buying, transporting, and assembling shranks. Extreme fatigue sets in after driving home one hour from the store and discovering the shrank in the box is not the one you requested. It is too small. After recovery, one may then return to the store, exchange shrank, and verify the box is the correct size. Hospitalization might be required if after returning home again, with the correct sized box, one discovers it is the wrong color...

Oh, no, Brian and Aimee. I hope your shrank fatigue has passed.
We prayed for you and especially for your kids today in chapel. We continue to ask God's blessings on them as you transition in Germany.
My best,

Having been there for shrank fatigue, what do you call wiring all the lights (some with the breakers on)?
