So My Mother Doesn't Want Me to Go...

Shortly after I announce my admittedly-impulsive-but-not-altogether-idiotic plan to move to Moscow, my mum sends me an e-mail with the title "Only in Russia".

These are just a sampling of the photos it contained.

This can't be totally right...right?

Of course, this e-mail was sent by the same mother who told me, when I proudly announced my decision to become an astronaut at the age of nine, that "horrible mistakes" can occur in the space shuttle, and continued to rattle off tales about Apollo 1 burning up on the tarmac, cooking alive the innocent astronauts inside. She actually got pretty graphic. After that, I decided that maybe I would become a writer.
But I'm sure this is nothing like that at all. Naw this is just a silly e-mail...

Love you mummy <3
