In the Fall of 2015, Mom was tested and they told me that she has the mental age of 6 or 7. I hope you will understand and appreciate that these stories are meant to reflect the joy of caring for her and the laughter we share on a regular basis. They are not intended to mock her or be hurtful in any way shape or form.
Mom: oh I love these shoes
Moi: really, why is that
Mom: they make my feet look smaller (she has size 11 feet - I know)
Moi: ahh.
Next Day
Mom: oh I love these shoes
Moi: really - I bet you I know why
Mom: why
Moi: Because they make your feet look smaller
Mom: How did you know
Giggle, giggle, giggle.
Repetition and saying the same thing over and over again can be annoying and frustrating. She has no idea she is repeating herself. I listen and respond just like she is telling me something for the very first time.
