It’s interesting to listen to the interaction between residents. Yesterday, M proceeded to rub her left foot as she announced to no one in particular, “My feet hurt.” (I was amazed how she very easily flipped her aching foot onto her right thigh – especially being she is 90)
Anyway, B turned slightly toward her and said, “They wouldn’t hurt if you quit wearing those high heels.”
Of course, M was in flat slippers and kind of stared at him in reply, an offended look on her face. Sometimes it’s difficult to not laugh and I sure do smile inside.
Yes, I’d be smiling too, cute interaction!
Very cute – how could you not laugh?!
I wonder if B doesn’t recall when all “fashionable ladies” wore high heels; how many times do you suppose he’d made that remark to his own wife. Sweet!
That was so cute. sandie
I visited my 91 dad today, and along with my step-mother we stopped in to visit a former colleague of my dad’s. While there, I was struck with the gathering of old folk–all being cared for in a nursing home setting. And I wondered what the future holds for me.
I hope it holds such sweet humor as you relay.
They just say whatever they want! I love it!
Thanks for sharing. I had the best medicine in the world, a good laughter:).
