Me: They're not from that Georgia. They mean the Georgia near Russia.
Her: I can't make out their name in the writin on the tee vee do ya know what it is?
Me: It's Russian...hard to spell.
Her: What's it start with?
Me: T
Her:.... den what?
Me: S
Her: .... AND?

Her: ... what else????
Me: It's Russian, I can't spell it when I'm not looking at it!!!
Her: Well whirur dey from?

Sounds like a comedy routine. But in many ways it is probably better that she is confused - she doesn't need to have to deal with all that tragedy. We are all so glad to see it coming to an end (hopefully).
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Oh, she knows exactly what's going on...she's just a little fuzzy on some of the details!
