This is so silly but funny and I just have to share it with you. Perhaps someone out there willthink it is as funny as I do. :)
Today is the day! I started my weight-loss program this morning at breakfast. As I was clearning the table, I asked DH if I looked any thinner. He got this blank stare on his face and you could see the wheels turning. He looked me up and down, had me turn a bit and then he said -- get this-- "You know, I really think you are trimming down a little bit."
He was so dead serious but I had to laugh and tell him how sweet he was to tell me that. He got a big smile on his face like he knew he'd done good. I think in the deep dark recesses of his mind, he knew that was a question he'd better answer properly.
Then you will all enjoy this one. Well over a year ago, a reader sent me this for the humor section:
From Vivian.............“I was sitting in the family room reading and Vic was walking around the house. He stops and asks me where Vivian is? I raised my hand and said "right here". He stops and waits for a few minutes and then says "lady, I don't mean to hurt your feelings but Vivian is no way as big as you are." I laughed so hard and have enjoyed telling the story many times,. I even told it to Vic when he was as himself and even he got a laugh out of it. “
Bama This is my story. At the time it was not funny but later I could smile about it. One night he kissed me goodnight and said he loved me. Five minutes later he came back down the hall asking..Where is she? Where is who? My wife, Bama,. I then asked him ....Why did you kiss me goodnight and tell me you loved me if you did not know who I was? His answer, I like to be nice and friendly to everybody. We have been married almost 54 years and he is about stage 6. Thank goodness, we are not in the diaper stage yet. Another time when he knew I was upset with him, he said my children really love you. I said "they should I'm their mother. You're their mother? he said with a very sursprised look on his face. After thinking that over for awhile he asked me "can you get pregnant? Hey, I am going to be 81 in February. I think I should be writing some of this in a journal. I have more.
Bama, I do think you should be writing some of this down. It is amazing, how their minds work! Even when the short-term memory is gone and the long-term is fading, there is a logic to how they react.
Sometimes you just have to laugh. My husband can dress himself, however, after his shower I try make sure he has his underwear on right...most times it is backwards. This evening I checked & sure enough they were backwards, in my nice voice I said "let's switch your underwear, they are on backwards" His reply was "Well, what son-of-a-gun did that" I said, "You are that son-of-a-gun" We both had a good laugh.
i think i've told this before but DH likes to tell the aides, that his 'wife is very nice and beautiful." awwww.. when i asked if i was his wife one day he said , no my wife is beautiful and very nice, you'll know it when you see her".....gotta love those sweet and precious moments. and lately DH has just the best disposiiton and his smile is just so endearing. just like a toddler looking for that glimmer of recognition when he looks at me up close...sigh...i want to always remember these moments when times are hard.Divvi
A while back we were at our internist's office for our yearly physicals. Our former doctor moved out of state and we stayed with the practice and started seeing her replacement, a very nice and capable young African American doctor. After both our examinations, we were seated in her office going over our blood work and DH got a good report. When we were finished, he walked over and kissed her on the cheek! Needless to say, she and I were quite surprised but she took it in stride. When we left, I asked him why he had done that. His response was "She looks like no one ever kisses her." I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten kissed if there was something negative about the blood work!
