Where he was born - there he came in handy: right or not?
'30.10.2017'
And how do you feel about the proverb “Where was born - there it came in handy”? Do you agree or disagree?
Recently we went to our neighbors for drinks (have you seen it in Stories?). The men sat watching baseball and discussed the "crooked" baseball players of the Detroit team Tigers (do you think Americans don't gossip or what?). Word by word, a player from Venezuela (in whose game they are very disappointed lately) fell under their "hot hand". And in Venezuela it was somehow restless, judging by the news - the men reasoned. And in Venezuela, this millionaire baseball player (they are all dollar millionaires, by the way) has a mother, whom he regularly sends money to. She lives there, lives, and does not want to go to any America, because she does not want to live in a foreign land, even with her rich son (the baseball player himself said this in an interview).
And our neighbor, Virginia, remember? She herself is from the Philippines. Her daughter lives in the USA from her first marriage, and her son did not want to move - he stayed in his homeland. Every month Virginia sends him money, and recently flew there herself for 3 months - to help (= lead the process) to build his house. Will come back here in November - and straight into the Michigan winter!
I had a girlfriend in Kirov. Throughout her youth, she lived under the motto “Where I was born - there I came in handy” and looked with disapproval at those who left for other cities (I’ll keep quiet about other countries). And what do you think? I met a man on the Internet, married him and drove off to another city! Such are the vicissitudes of fate!
Americans also often ask me (for some reason, many people care about this question), but do I plan to transport my mother here? (That they are still just about the brother do not know!).
What can I say?
Even if I wanted (in the future), she herself (and my brother, by the way) do not want it. She has not been abroad, she is not torn and believes that she is good where she is now - in Kirov. There are girlfriends, relatives, Russian, and in general - everything that is native and familiar! I was the only one who “got out of hand”!
