There are so many people to thank for helping me with Million Little Mistakes - I'm just going to start one by one. First, I must thank Dave and Lena Wiebe.
Dave and I went to high school together, and he was one of those few souls with whom you could take intellectual refuge. And learn weird stuff. He always knew things like the average wingspan of the Icelandic Puffin, and what year the Replacements pressed their first vinyl record.
Now, Dave and his wife are both German experts and they helped me name a product in the book. Drogenbrot is the German name they gave me for section 138...or page 445, in which I need a name for my pharmaceutical-laced line of food for kids. (Strata-Kix! Strattera-laced cornflakes, Lexy Bears - Lexapro infused Gummi bears etc......)
In the USA, the brand name is "Medi-Dins" and in Germany, they're called "Drogenbrot," which the Wiebe's came up with for me - which literally means "Drugged Dinner."
Thanks Wiebes!
