How I realized I am too old...

On the fisrt Saturday we had a party at a local student disco club called Mensakeller, whatever that means. It is a nice place, two stages, three or four bars - am not so sure, nice security guys-aren't they always?- and most importantly many many german students:)

Most of my time there was spent talking with my new schoolmates and some of the Germans. I just love learning about new countries, exotic ones, at least for me, like Brazil or Panama. But anyway I was sitting at a table and having a nice and pleasant conversation, when out of nowhere another foreign student appeared. I will state his normal name, just because I think he will never ever read this, the main reason is he can't speak english, the second reason even if he read this he would probably be proud of himself:)

So This Arkadiusz:), right from Poland:), started a nice german/english-he knew some words like Love and all the rude ones:)/slovak/polish conversation. During the 15 minutes we were talking to each other he managed to insult my German pronounciation and grammar - it is only fair to say, that he was right in 95%,but he also managed to tell me how beautiful I was, inteligent ...........(put as much positive adjectives as possible). Then came the BIG question.

He asked me how old I was. I didn't exactly get why was it that important to him, but I am not ashamed of my age in any way, so I told him the truth. He looked a me with horror and fright on his face and told me: "I am sorry, I have something to do."

I told this story to a friend of mine and she started to laugh really hard. I looked blank at her and she told me: " At least he didn't shouted: 'How OLD are YOU????'"

Then I realized the truth, I am not so young anymore. Better to say, for some people I am too old to be considered a possible night fling:).

Thanks God for that:)

Haha.. you're such a great narrator Jana, just love to read you stuff, it's just like hearing you IRL.! :-)

To comfort you a bit, on mensakeller, another age question I got the reply, shouted out loud;

"--! [my age, not at all ashamed of it, but damn it look so old in writing..].. du kannst meine Mutter sein!!

How do reply on that if you're intrested in a fling... "yes.. are you up for some abuse?"
