It's a German Thing

Once upon a time Annabelle and Rita went to a play called Phantom of the Opera. You've probably never heard of it. We had to wait in line for a long time. Even though Peach was a member of the cast, we were there before him and he had our tickets. Hence the waiting. To entertain ourselves, we played a game invented by Belle. It's called the Hating Game. Each player takes turns naming things they hate. For example:
"I hate kids."
"I hate your kids."
"I hate my kids."
"Especially my kids!!!"
"I hate music."
"I hate musicals."
"I hate Phantom of the Opera."
"I hate this school."
"I hate theater in general."
"I hate waiting in lines."
We got some nasty looks from the lady in front of us. I don't think she is familiar with the Hating Game. If we ever meet her again we will introduce her to Belle and teach her the rules of the game.

Suddenly, we were confronted by an odd guy in a green bathrobe. He stared at us kind of funny and said "How are you?" Annabelle thought he said "Are you..." so she was waiting for him to finish his sentence. There was an awkward silence before we figured it out. And an awkward guy. In an awkward green bathrobe. We assumed he was a cast member who just hadn't put his costume on yet. But then we saw him after the show in the same apparel. "Who wears a bathrobe to a play?" we wondered. Peach informed us that he is an exchange student from Germany. It must be a German thing.
