Telling it like it is...

A resident at the Grove sent the following reports of senior experiences. Do any of them ring a bell?

Romance

An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep, but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, 'You used to hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a moment and tried to get back to sleep. A few seconds later she said, "Then you tried to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek, and settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said, "Then you used to bite my neck." Angrily, he threw back the covers and got out of bed. "Where are you going" she asked. "To get my teeth."

Old Friends

Two elderly ladies had been friends for decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day they were playing cards when one of them looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me. I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name. I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"·

Driving

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car-they could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to a crossroad. The stop light was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they-came to another major intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh! Am I driving?"
