LOL, Pam that is so funny. I noticed with both my parents that with age and loss of hearing came some very embarrassing moment for me. My Mother wasn't so bad but oh boy has my Dad left me red faced and apologizing. He likes to go to Shoney's and have the soup bar and even though I always do the walking to get his soup he always tells them to seat him next to the buffet bar. It never fails, some unsuspecting overweight lady will get a big plate of food and as she walks by he'll say something like "look at how that's piled up, no wonders she's so large".![]()
I'll never forget sitting in Cracker Barrel with him and a middle aged lady with extremely large, frizzy permed hair from the 80s sat down across from us. In a whisper so loud you could hear in the next town he said "look at that lady, her hair looks like a stump full of granddaddies". As I tried to shut him up quietly he again in a loud whisper said "what? I just wanted you to see that hair, don't know when it's seen a comb".
That is just a couple of his zingers and don't even get me started on him going up to the soft drink dispenser at a fast food restaurant to wash his hands. He doesn't do that one in front of me because he knows I'll fuss at him but he does it with the caretaker. He says it's too far to walk to the restroom and I told him if he was that bad maybe it's time to check out a nursing home. That makes him fly straight for a while.
