I live in Poland near the German border. Once, together with my wife and daughter, we decided to go to a nearby German town for shopping.

While we were entering a mall, my daughter (13-14-years-old) tells me how cool it is that nobody really can understand what we’re talking about and we can practically say everything we want. In the same moment, a security guard standing next to entrance grins and greets her with perfect polish,

“Dzień Dobry” (Good Morning). I didn’t realize that her skin tone could get that red. I just thanked that man for a mild but practical lesson.
