The Nursing Home
One evening, a family brought their frail,
elderly mother to a nursing home and left her, hoping that she would
be well-cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her
a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a
lovely flower garden.
She seemed okay, but after a
while she slowly started to lean over sideways in her chair. Two
attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and straighten her
up. Again she seemed okay, but after a while she started to tilt to
the other side. The nurses rushed back, and once more moved her back
upright. This went on all morning.
Later the family
arrived to see how the old woman was adjusting to her new home. "So
Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you alright?" They inquired.
"It's pretty nice here." she replied. "Except they won't let you
fart."
