brathood


Explanation:
trochę naciągane, ale "szczenięctwo" też

I've always approached brathood as an adventure that was sometimes stressful and sometimes very exciting, but not as an education.

I don't remember the food. But when i get around to going again, since my tastes have developed since whiny brathood, I will probably eat at Epcot a lot.

It's like Saturday Night Live at its best. I vaguely remember that commercial from my blurry brathood, actually.

I myself am not good at punctuation and articles but my English vocabulary has greatly improved thanks to PC games I've played since brathood (is there such a word like brathood?!)
