Once had a really great easter party where we legally roasted a pig and illegally distilled liquor. Never in my life have I had a cleaner buzz. When I got home the next day I wrestled with myself whether I should tell my mother about it. But eventually I elected to tell her because I had such a good time.
When I mentioned my reservations for telling her about distilling liquor she shot me an incredulous look and just said: “Dude, have you forgotten that I’m Norwegian?”
In Norway alcohol is very expensive so basically everyone has distilled liquor at some point in their life.
Is this one of those “1/37th of me is Norwegian” stories from the US based on 23andme results?
Nah, it’s a German “my mother was literally born and raised in Norway” story.
When I moved to another city I even discovered that me and even my kids are technically Norwegian as well as German. At least according to the German authorities. I wanted to see if we could get a Norwegian passport but didn’t have the time yet.
Nice. Could be useful if any of you are interested in living/studying in Norway. Since its still not EU, status of how easy that is can change. Also it is a pretty country.
Same when me and my friends got the cops called on us as a kids for climbing onto our school building at night to eat pizza. Like damn dude, have you never enjoyed life or wtf is going on?
They probably felt powerful for the first time in their life
There’s a reason every school has those stupid security fences now and it’s not because students where having a bit of harmless fun after dark.
My mom cried when she found out I tried mushrooms when I was 16.
My mother who has had two long term boyfriends I know about, the guy before my dad who was a Coke dealer, and my dad who went to jail for selling drugs. She met my dad because she was trying to find mushrooms and he sold them.
She cried.
Possibly she thought she had gone down a bad path in life, regretted it, and was worried you would go down the same path?
I obviously don’t know her, so I can’t say if that’s the case, but I have seen that happen before. Mainly in movies.
Yeah that was not the case here.
I suspected it might not be, unfortunately. Hope things are good now.
They are. This was like 15 years ago. Also it was fine back then, nothing actually bad happened except my mother way overreacted about me trying a psychedelic once.
Maybe she was afraid to see you walk the same path. ( Not that mushrooms are dangerous, but dating a coke dealer isn’t ideal)
Did you pay her back for eating her shrooms
Maybe she was on mushrooms when she found out.
Lol I wish this was true, because it’s better than just erratic behaviour.
“I used to be a piece of shit.”
The most criminal thing I ever did was buy drugs and pirate stuff. Now the drugs I would buy are legal, so that just leaves the piracy.
I used to be a piece of shit…I still am, but I used to be also.
Omg I’m crying laughing. This hits the spot.
Sounds like dialog from Poorly Drawn Lines.
The basis of the joke is most commonly attributed to Mitch Hedberg.
Thanks. I can’t remember the exact wording offhand. I may have butchered it. But that is what I was going for.
It’s all good, you were pretty close.
Haha yes. Thank you. RIP in peace Mitch. We all miss you.
