I just choked on my own saliva. There is probably a harsh sounding German word for that.  She needed corralling. She pointed to the exposed ducts in the garage and said "ugh they look so old! And they have duct tape on them!" Which was when is stared at her in an you-can't-be-serious tone. I said "Given the age of the home, be grateful they are insulated in an area that isn't heated or cooled. The house feels good. We can't assume the ductwork is bad becáuse the insulation is old."
