BIRTHDATE

Mother and I were trying to figure out when a certain family member was born/how old she is.  She said, "Let me check my Bible" and proceeded to look up birth records there.  She triumphantly said, "She was born in 1941!"  I said, "That makes her older than I am!"  Then, she looked again and sheepishly said, "1991."  Well, that was certainly more like it.

 EYE DOCTOR

  Mother was sitting looking out the window and telling me about the white trucks on the road.  Then she said she can't see.

Me:  Do you want me to make an appointment with the eye doctor for you?

Her:  Do you want me to be blind?

Me:  You just said you can't see....what is the definition of being blind?

Her:  No, I don't want to go to no eye doctor!  They would make me blind!"

Me:  I was just offering.  You're old enough to know what you want.



I love this woman.
