Two Lists of What Could Possibly Go Wrong:

My list:

• I'll forget the Russian case system, thus forgetting the very core of the language

• I'll misuse a verb of motion, thus looking like a complete fool

• I'll forget to take off my shoes when I enter a home, as is custom

• The only food they will have will be chicken liver and borscht

My mom's list:

• Natalie will…

• Die from drowning in the lake

• Die from starvation

• Die from sun poisoning

• Die from contracting a rare airborne disease

• Die from malnutrition

• Die from an allergic reaction after being stung by a bee

• Die from being bitten by a rabid animal

And yet… she still let me go! That woman must like me a lot or something :) Gotta love Jewish mothers!

These purple flowers grow everyyyywhere!
