It's been a WHOLE week bloggwells! I've been volunteering alot at this Nursing home. It's quiet an...er...well.."exeperience" working there--or should I say "playing there". I bet you are wondering what i mean by "playing there"--NO i don't mean something dirty and negative! As if i spend my day doing dirty sexual things with grannies! Psh! I prefer grampa's! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--I'm kidding. Seriously.
SO yeah, Um...I typically spend my day playing checkers, cards, drawing, doing puzzles and playing aaaaall types of board games with the elderly! Oh, and sometimes we all do yoga with ALTERATIVE ROCK playing in the background! LOL--Yeah, i wish, but the nurses there don't approve of that type of music. Might give the elderly "heart failure". ((scoffs) Whatever.
Ha! So GET THIS. On my first day of work, i was getting familar with all the elderly there. I asked for their names and what-not. SO i see this poor old lady with one leg in a wheel chair sitting in front of a checkers board and staring into God-knows what. So i sit down with her and play checkers with her, little do I know that this lady was not only CRAZY but had SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. Bad combo man...baaaaad combo.
So here i am about to move my piece (because it's my turn) and she YELLS at me! She goes "What do you think your doing moving my piece!" So i try to calmly explain to her how I was moving MY piece and not HERS so then the cranky geezer SLAPS ME! Then she yells"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I DAMN RIGHT KNOW ITS MY PIECE"
So...i consider my options...
A) go to jail for socking the old lady.
B) go to jail for strangling the old lady.
C) go to jail for taking her wheel chair and pushing it down a hill.
D) All of the above.
It was a tough decison but in the end i just got up slowly, smiled at her (or was it a wince?) and exucsed myslef. I know, half of you either think i did the right thing and half of you probablly think im a punk. Well in a way, I'm BOTH. Ha! So yeah, from that day forth, I decided to steer clear of the forgetfull, mean granny.
wow..this HAS to be my longest non-poetry post EVER! Hahahahaha! Well stay in tune for a poem and a random thought!
