A short trip Varna - Sofia with many emotions

In the spring of 2009, my son and I will fly from Varna to Sofia. Both first time on a plane. We're going to a competition, the kid, 5th grade at the time, is going to play the accordion. I had warned him that he should remove everything metal from himself, put it in the basket, etc. We stand at the detector, I pass first. I had just bought a "Rexona", a limited series of some kind, cheap...how should I know that it cannot be in hand luggage. And there was an argument with the employee: I pull and she pulls 😃 And I don't pay attention to how the machine screeches frantically as the child passes.

The queue is long, everyone is staring at us, and the policeman is wondering what is going on. At one point he asks the little one:

- Well, kid, don't you have something metal on you?

- Yes - the son-in-law answers satisfied and teeth, showing the dental splint in his mouth.

"Why didn't you say, well, you're coming," asks the uniformed man angrily

"Emmy... when the detector goes off, people get scared and it's fun for me," replies the diva and he doesn't care at all.

"Come on, go, so I don't screw you up," says the policeman jokingly. And the son-in-law adds seriously:

- Because I hit my head, that's why I'm talking nonsense... (he had played a match the day before, hit his head on the concrete and had a slight concussion).

The policeman looked at me and shook his head sympathetically. The child left, at one point he returns, pulls the employee by the jacket and asks in an edifying tone:

- This accordion now that it has passed through the scanner, don't let anything happen to it, eh!? I'm at a competition tomorrow and the accordion is very expensive...

Laughter in the hall 😃 However, "Rexona" is my artist.

My father in Istanbul

Airports are fun. My father, then about 60 years old, traveled from Istanbul to Russia. He loaded himself with three bags of luggage and a semi-axle for a car. And having his gate changed twice in less than an hour... a big run in this huge airport 😃 with three bags and a sesal half-axle hanging from his neck. Sort of like Home Alone, but without the kids 😃

When the father does not listen to the children

Dad's second wife is Russian. They live in Russia and come to visit us every summer. During the 2015 war in Ukraine, there was a problem with traveling Russians. They were not even allowed to transit through Ukraine. On the way, they had bypassed her from the northern border - by car. On the way back, they wonder, from there again (that at some point they pass near the hostilities) or through Turkey and Georgia. On the second route, there were some problems at the Russian border, we heard from acquaintances. The car with BG registration and the Russians want duty as for two properties.

My brother and I told him to go through Ukraine, ie. along, but he No. They passed through Turkey without a problem and I have been waiting two days for a call that they have arrived. It was the third day, we were worried, considering how long he had traveled another time. On the fourth night, shortly before midnight, he calls me on Viber. "Come on, have you finally arrived?" I ask with relief

- No! I'm calling from uncle, we're going to sleep at his villa, we're back.

Me - chess with the pedestrian 😃 They didn't let them in the car only 300 km from their city... The Russians didn't let them in because of the Bulgarian registration of the car. Dad then had a document for permanent residence and never had any problems with a Bulgarian car. But in war everything is allowed.

They stayed two days, they inquired, it turned out that the other route was also dangerous; not for him, he is an EU citizen, for his wife. In the end, he left the car for me to sell, and they caught their plane.

Interpreter - security guard

August, 2019 I am accompanying a businessman to Italy, I am a translator. We fly from Bucharest to Bari. We are on the detector. The boss goes first. His luggage went through, that's right, but they decided to "feel" him. However, the policeman comes from behind him and our man, bent over at the same time, stands up. And when he hit one of the cops 😃 ... and when two more jumped at him from above... And he speaks little English. I ran to explain, they pulled me. And they don't listen to me... until I explain to them that I'm with him and that it's a mistake... We did a show, but they let us go with a warning not to make any sudden moves again.
