When my MIL left NY, I bought her a diamond bracelet. What did you get your MIL huh?

You were that glad to see her go, huh man?

We got Mama-Mrs.-T-B. a gringo husband for her #1 old-maid daughter, me man.

We got Mama-Mrs.-T-B. an adorable gringo grandson, wee man.

Yesterday, we gave Mama-Mrs.-T-B. a roll of dollar coins for her trip, si man.

This eve, she & Mrs. T-B. went out and spent it, gee man.

They came back grinning like Cheshire cats, miu man.

Will have to get her another that she will take on the trip, egad man.

They took awhile to cash mine a few times.

They slammed ours into the bank like a starving dog slavering over a pound of minute steak, gee man.

LOL I don't have a timeline, so not gonna fake any

This might not be entirely your fault, oj nie. We have researched the Months of the Year in Poland, and it's a wonder that anyone (except us) can memorize them, oj tak:

Wyrazista

Wielkanoc

Zdziwienie

Cytuję

Cukrzycy

Nieosiadły

łączącą

Ziemniak

Pieczęć

Rękawy

Rodak

Sprawdzić

We ourselves got them, first try, but heaven help the typical gringo who might need to set appointments throughout the year in Poland, see man: "I will see you at Many o'clock on the Many'th day of Zdziwienie, oj tak."

De-dish cat prep zzz man.
