Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.

Oh damn, in German, "Vati" is an affectionate form like "daddy", except it's the word stem of "father" ("Vater").

And wouldn't you know it, Christians also use "Vater" to refer to priests, the pope and their god.

Yes, the US largely figured that out with The Empire Strikes Back. 😜

Except they were kinda wrong. “Vader” is father in Dutch, not German.
