true story

my parents, like any normal russians, went looking for fresh mushrooms after a week of rain. as they approached "the forest" (i.e., a park), they met a man who told them in russian:  

there are no mushrooms here

he went on to ask whether they've seen his mother, and because they hadn't, he wandered off to look for her.

surrealism itself. i wish i had been there.
