to my mother, there is no difference.

Proof that, no matter how hard shit gets, western Europeans always will be able to toddle along and have the lulz about it.

Afternoon, watching Stargate SG-1 with my mother. Bored because we had nothing to do and there was nothing else on TV.

Mom (is clueless): so...the Russians now have one of those star gates...no, wait, were the Americans the only ones to have them until then?
Me: (who has just a bit more of a clue about the series *sarcasm*): uh....I think so...you know the Americans must have stuff before everyone else.
Mom: like AIDS.
Me: true *turns to mother* but we did have the Plague and Leprosy first.
Mom: back in the 40s. *is talking about Romania*
Me: back in the 19th century *is talking about Europe in general*
Mom: or the 20s...? *is ignoring me*
Me:...no wait, I don-t think Europe had Leprosy first though...*mutters to self* but the Plague was definitely ours. Wait, we had Leprosy back home?
Mom: absolutely, they built the Tuborg beer factory on the grounds they used to have the Leprosy cemetery.
Me: bullshit!
Mom: no joke!
Me: *has the biggest lulz of the afternoon*

Some 10 minutes later, mom is massaging my newly bleached-to-death-almost-white-head.

Me: *purrs*
Mom: with this hair now you-re just like a caniche.
Me: XD !!!!!


So, what we learned yesterday was that, to my mom:

Me + (a caniche) = no difference

Also, I am not sure if Europe can pride itself with Leprosy before everyone else, thus I am a woman on a mission: I must find out who had it first.

But the Plague was ours.
