Dementia is an amazing thing. I am highly looking forward to it, so I can wear my underwear on the outside of my clothes.
Anyway-one resident in particular says the most amazing things...and she says them with complete seriousness.
I played guitar for her in my office. She smiled, nodding her head in time to the music, watching thoughtfully (or so I thought), tapping her foot as she sat in her wheelchair.
When I was finished I asked her, "So, how was that?"
She paused for a moment, and stated with a very concerned expression, "That was very nice, but you have no black people on that ukelele."
I wasn't sure how to respond, so mostly I just blinked at her.
At lunch today our Activities Director asked her how the food was. She again struck a thoughtful pose.
"It is very good, but I am turning into a boy."
Hmmm...stay away from the herb chicken.
yeah, but what did she think of the drummer?
