When I see my former class mates on Facebook they seem more like my parents. No. They seem less open minded than my parents. And less cool. (!!! My parents are not especially cool)
Germany seems like a liberal paradise compared to Poland.

I said goodbye to the church and my parents only said:
Ok, you must know what you are doing. And didn’t even bring it up that I didn’t baptize the kids.
My father admires it secretly.
They never tried to guilt me back to the church. That’s a big, big plus. They even say that they only stay in because they somehow got used to it.

Mother countries: Sweden or Norway. I looked at going there after my father died it seemed like a time to take a risk then a year later we are in the middle of a fucking pandemic so... I don't know. Maybe if a Trump becomes president again or some other equally crazy shit goes down.

My father-in-law baptized our son in his home, he didn't ask. I don't care though if it makes him feel better after making my son's head wet, whatever. It affects us zero.

"can you imagine getting the scallops and then not eating them?"

Look at how their mother eats. This is not surprising.

I think Weinstein is still in prison.

Also I can't wait for Karen to have to say Zahra's name!!!

Thank you for being a journalistic guard here.
I thought about it during the show and was 90% sure he was still in prison.
I checked it and Wikipedia said:

Weinstein was arrested and charged with rape in New York in May 2018.[7] He was found guilty of two of five felonies in February 2020,[8][9][10] was sentenced to 23 years in prison,[11][12] and is serving his sentence at Wende Correctional Facility.[13][14] His earliest possible release date is November 9, 2039 when he would be 87 years old.[15][1

BTW.

For me it’s stranger to say the name Keith than the name Chemda.

We don’t have a th here.

The Ch in Chemda is a very common sound in the polish language.
