Youth.

When you are young, sometimes you do things on impulse you would never do if you thought more about them. Two things came into my mind today, for some unknown reason, that I experienced.

Many years ago, when I was in my early 30's, Joan, myself and a friend went to a restaurant for lunch. The place was empty of customers except for us and we made our orders. After eating, we asked for the bill and waited for it. We waited and waited and waited. Our friend said, "If there is no one here who wants our money, let's just leave".  In a split second we made up our minds, quickly exited the restaurant, ran quickly to our car and drove rapidly away. It was a stupid thing to do but at the time it seemed funny to us.

The second thing happened a  few years later, also in a restaurant, but without our knowledge. It was a Chinese restaurant and Joan admired the teapot very much. Our friend, a very conservative young man, was with us for dinner. After dinner, we paid the bill and walked outside. On our way back to the car, our friend opened his overcoat, put his hand under it, took out the teapot Joan admired so much and presented it to her as a gift. Needless to say, we hurriedly went to the car and drove away quickly. Both occasions could have caused us problems because they were such irrational actions. They have never happened again.

Why do I write about things like this? It has nothing to do with daily life in Poland or family research but sometimes this blog is also about the way I see things or think about different things in my life. Maybe some of you are right and I should not write about personal things but you know me better when I do. I am not just a page/blog on the internet, I am a real person with interests, feelings, opinions, points of view and so I also write about them.

 Kiedy jeste艣 m艂ody, czasami robisz rzeczy, kt贸rych nigdy by艣 nie zrobi艂, je艣li o nich pomy艣lisz. Dwie rzeczy przysz艂y mi dzi艣 do g艂owy z nieznanego powodu, kt贸rego do艣wiadczy艂em.Wiele lat temu, kiedy by艂em we wczesnych latach trzydziestych, Joan, ja i m贸j przyjaciel, poszli艣my do restauracji na lunch. Miejsce by艂o puste dla klient贸w z wyj膮tkiem nas i zrobili艣my nasze zam贸wienia. Po jedzeniu poprosili艣my o rachunek i czekali艣my na niego. Czekali艣my i czekali艣my. Nasz przyjaciel powiedzia艂: "Je艣li tu nie ma pieni臋dzy, po prostu odejd藕my". W u艂amku sekundy podj臋li艣my decyzj臋, szybko opu艣cili艣my restauracj臋, szybko i szybko. To by艂o g艂upie, gdy robili艣my to zabawnie.

Druga sprawa wydarzy艂a si臋 kilka lat p贸藕niej, tak偶e w restauracji, ale bez naszej wiedzy. To by艂a chi艅ska restauracja i Joan bardzo podziwia艂a czajniczek. Nasz przyjaciel, bardzo konserwatywny m艂ody cz艂owiek, by艂 z nami na kolacji. Po obiedzie zap艂acili艣my rachunek i wyszli艣my na zewn膮trz szybko. Obie te sytuacje mog艂y spowodowa膰 problemy, poniewa偶 by艂y to suche dzia艂ania nieracjonalne. Nigdy wi臋cej si臋 nie wydarzy艂y.


Dlaczego pisz臋 o takich rzeczach? Ma wiele rzeczy do zrobienia w moim 偶yciu. Nie mog臋 pisa膰 o tobie, kiedy to robi臋. Nie jestem tylko stron膮, jestem prawdziw膮 osob膮 z zainteresowaniami, uczuciami, opiniami, punktami. Pisz臋 te偶 o nich.
