They say the darndest things


Today I was visiting with an elderly woman at her home who is 83 years old and has Alzheimer's Disease. Here is how the conversation went:

E: You are so pretty! My what a young beautiful woman.

L: Thank you! You look very nice also.

E: I am so glad you came to see me, you have such nice hair.

L: Thanks, I am really glad I could come and see you today.

E: You are so pretty, but I bet you are a real B*#@! when you get mad.

L: Well....you might be right about that.

E: I wish I had a danish to give you. They are shaped like figure eights and have lemon and raspberry filling and are laced with white frosting, it is so delicious.

L: That sounds very good!

Working with elders is never boring! This lady is so cute and really made me laugh today!

I have to agree with her, you do have very nice hair. Sitting behind you today in church only proved that statement once again.
