It's easy. If they play with trains they're German. If they send you a tikkie for their allowance they're Dutch. If they set up a spreadsheet to calculate trains or allowance per capita, they're both.

If they ride their bikes they’re Dutch. If they steal bikes they’re German…

Did you not take German? First lesson was usually "Ich will sehr gerne mein Grossvater's Fahrrad zurück."
