e-Mails That People Send ME From THEIR Mothers
From JCLady’s mom-
The Bathtub Test
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you
determine whether or not an older person should be put in a Care Home?”
“Well,” he said, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the
bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
“No” he said. “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you
want a bed near a window?”

And my mom thought the bucket was the right answer.
I’m in trouble!

Congress should have asked Hillary this question.
Although she probably would have answered, “It doesn’t make a difference.”

A window on the west side please. I like to sleep in and don’t like the morning sun.

I think I’ll just be a pain in the rear to my offspring. My answer was “Why on earth would I be messing about with bathtubs when I only take showers?”

My mom doesn’t have this kind of humor. She just calls to harass me about flu shots and vitamins.

I wish my mom was still here to harass me about anything.

Me, too, sablegsd. But she used to send me a lot of jokes like this. She had a better sense of humor than I do.

At first glance, I thought the “Bathtub Test” was seeing if Gramps can get in and out of the bathtub without falling.
Of course, a spritz or two of olive oil on the edges speeds things along nicely.
