Mistress Darkness

I think it was Wednesday when my mother realised how badly her mind had deteriorated - when she realised that she did not even knew what consonant is anymore. Or rather she knew the letters of course but not what they are called - not the German expression (Mitlaut) or the Latin one (Konsonant) which is the one I and many others use.

Just now I realised how badly it really is - she is kind of dissembling the rest of our model train settings and was cursing and screaming that she should not get a screw out. I told her that was no surprise she got the one screwdriver. I told her several times, I even offered her to bring her the right one ... she just picked up another one of the wrong kind and continued to damage the screw even further.

I had to walk away ... I just really hope it is not a genetic thing to grow so dumb at record speed. I really hope it is her way of living. *sighs*
