I visited for at least an hour, trying not to exhibit any sense of judgement. However when I got up to leave, I made the mistake of saying, "You are nice people" and the brother almost hit me. The sister quickly intervened, knowing I was so-innocent, I meant nothing by it, and said as much. And I didn't, a statement of feeling-fact, and he so-seemed. But I was young, unwrapped and innocent. How was I to know that you were not suppose to tell people they were nice ?
So what was my culpability there ? Did I get to say what I want, or did I have to say what they want ? Judge Judy says,"If you tell the truth you don't have to have a good memory". I have never had, what would normally be called a good memory. So I have had to say all my life, what I want, since it is so difficult to remember, all the ins and outs, and ups and downs, and "Tears for Fears", of 'what they want'.
I called the Swedish woman I had travelled to Amsterdam with and got her father. Seems she was out of town and wouldn't be back for three days. But I did not stick around. I was only there three days and didn't want to stay just for a visit that would make no apparent sense, except as a matter of good manners. We would have no future. Mainly it was too expensive and I don't know, suppose I wasn't happy there. "You might say Stockholm is very very nice, but it is too nice for me. If I wanted to see an American like city, I would stay in America.
