The Joy of an old lady

You may search my time-worn face, 
You'll find a merry eye that twinkles. 
I am NOT an old lady 
Just a little girl with wrinkles! 
- Edythe E. Bregnard 

Everyday I'm thankful for the gift of working with old ladies ( let's not forget the only old man of the house whom I also enjoy) because they bring so much laughter into my life.  Working nights give me very minimal people contact but having a old lady make you laugh makes up for it. 

One thing I love about old ladies is they say and do anything whenever they please because they can, their old. 

Taking care of old people reminds me of taking care of small children.  I don't think you want me to go into great detail... I'll let your minds create their own images.

Things I love/crack me up about old ladies:

* Faking not knowing peoples names... "because it's fun"

*Getting up 15 times during the night to pee 

*Expelling intestinal gas whenever/wherever you please, not caring who is around 

*Creating ring butt from sitting on the John for long periods of time. 

*Falling Asleep on the John

*Eating snacks on the John

*Rocking yourself to sleep

*Hiding very needed items from staff such as Keys, because it's fun. 

*Riding your chair up and down up and down because "it's a fun RIDE".

*Saying Hi every time someone passes by because it's fun.

*Having to know what every meal of the day is first thing in the morning. 

*Pushing your call button to annoy staff/ tell them that you love them 80 times a day/night 

*Singing old hymns early in the morning.

*Taking a nap 30 Min's after you got up and ready for the day.

*Dreaming about everything you watched on TV that day and believing it's real life. 

It all boils down to one thing..... old people are wonderful!
