Senior Moments
The following is a re-enactment of a conversation between my mom and two of her elderly neighbors:
Neighbor #1: What a week. First my car dies, and it’s been in the shop all week. And now my brother’s in the hospital. He’s not responding to treatment.
Neighbor #2: Do they know what’s wrong?
Neighbor #1: No, which is the frustrating part. I wish they’d find something, so I’d know what we’re dealing with.
Neighbor #2: Oh, that happened with my car. It was the alternator.
Zing!
My mom’s role in the conversation was laughter suppression.
