I used to take care of my grandmother (my Mom's mom) and she was really far gone with alzheimer's.
One time while we were at the kitchen table she asked me " What is in those cupboards?" The cupboards were behind me I look and remember they have all the dishes. So I say "Plates, bowls, and cups."She says "O I have a lovely wedding China set somewhere."
I reply "Yes I know they are in your dining room." I point to the dining room behind me.
She goes quiet for a second than ask me. "What's in those cupboards?" I look they are the same cupboards. So I repeat. "Plates, bowls, cups."
She says again "O I have a lovely wedding China set somewhere."
I reply a little less patient "Yes I know they are in your dining room." I point to the dining room behind me.
This time NO PAUSE!
She asks " What is in those cupboards?" This time I am really getting annoyed so I jump up and open the cupboard I say "Plates, bowls, and cups." And before she can say anything about her China I say and point to the dinning room and say "AND YOUR WEDDING CHINA IS IN THERE!"
I plopped down in the chair and she just huffed like "WELL I NEVER!"
I hated to do it but truth was if you didn't nip it like that she would carry on for hours. She would make up story's. Like one day she told her first born that she was marrying a childhood friend of my aunts and uncles. My aunt told her if that is how you going to be just go back to bed lol my grandma thought my aunt was upset because she refused the marriage.
And on more than one occasion my grandmother tried to hook me up with my uncle who was my mom's twin around 50+ and I was only 18 lol
She kept going on how great he was and how single he was. Lol than she ask if I knew him and I would say yes he is my uncle lmao
