Sara: We were just in india with my mom about three weeks ago. Tegan and I both got struck dow by one of the most horrific flu i’ve ever had in my entire life. To the point where, in like part of why it was so horrific it’s just was like that. Like I was kind of feeling a bit weird 

Tegan: Once second your eating chips and pounding a pepsi and the next second you where over the toilet 

Sara: Seriously like, not even sure which end was more important. It was like what would be easier to clean up in the afternoon. Anyways it was like the whole situation was a bit upsetting but um it was like within 30 minutes I mean I had gone from sort of like feeling kind of okay to like just literally calling people and being like “I’m Dying, seriously i’m dying. I feel like there’s something seriously wrong.” And then Tegan also, apparently she had an “upset stomach” so i was like literally like did the Pepto-Bismol work? because I was seriously near death… Clammy, flu-like, hysterical, barfing, shitting. Just intense thing. She was in one hotel room and I was in the other. And my mother just went in to this kind of - like I haven’t seen her behave like that since I was a kid- but like she just went into like full mom-mode and she- i was- it’s been a long since I was so sick that I needed to be reassured that I wasn’t going to die. And generally when i get the flu i’m like “I deserve it”. Shit just got really real and I was really scared and the people we work thought it was next level. And my mom just like totally chilled everybody out. She was like “I was just on a boat in brazil and people where having seizures, you are not going to die, you are going to be fine and anyways my mom at one point- so we’re a very very close family - but my mom I think she wants to be more more physically affectionate with me that I’m able to compute- I just mean physical affectional because she just like to-

Tegan: You realize that we’re in Brisbane at the Tivoli, not in therapy right now. Sara: Anyways I was like all clammy and horrible and my mom would like have given me all kind of drugs and I was starting to lose consciousness and I was like “Would you love my feet” and the look of glee on my mother’s face was… she was like “Okay”. Okay anyways. Don’t put that on the internet. Anyways it was really weird but it brought me a lot of comfort. It was just nice to be reminded, even at 30 years old, like at some point you know, just to know that your mother can just swoop down and it, like just for some sort of hormones where just like you believe everything she says. and she told me that I was going to be fine and that I wasn’t going to die then I’d slip into unconscious state… that could have been the drugs, but I did feel calm and it was really really nice. Anyways that’s me trying to make it seem that i’m normal.

haha, fuck. i was at this show and remember pretty much pissing myself with laughter at this point. tegan and sara really are the best storytellers.
