German language quirks

I raise my children bilingual, me speaking German and my husband speaking English.

Recently I have noticed some quirks in the German language that I want to remember and have confused my kids. I will add to the list as I go along.

Drache: means dragon and kite

Rakete: means rocket and fireworks

Laub: means fallen leaves (leaf=Blatt)

Blatt: means leaf as well as sheet of paper

Please let me know in the comments if you know of other quirks!
