Time 8.50am. ( breakfast)
Place Mums bedroom (she lives with us)
Day Friday (but it doesn't matter, because now they are all the same)
MUM ' I don't think that man who does my feet ( the chiropodist) can see very well, he must be older than me'
ME, looking at her toenails and smiling,
MUM 'He must be over 70' Pause ' how old am I'
ME ' How old do you think you are'
MUM ' Well I'm over 65' Pause ' 72'
ME 'mum, today you can be 72'
I give her a big hug and kiss on leaving the room, smile to myself and keep the happy memory that was just created for MY MEMORY BOX
The man in question is probably younger than me (55) and Mum is 82
This morning she said ' I hope I don't live to be 80 or 90 and a BLEADY NUISANCE to anyone' This deserved an even bigger 'hug and kiss'
We have to see the funny side to all of this, laughter is the best medicine, I love to hear mum laughing at all the COMEDY DVDs we have now aquired since she has been with us.
My wonderful partner plays domioes and card games with her and it always ends up with them doing more talking and laughung, than playing.
Take car all. Bye for now.
