When Sheri picked Bob up from "work" (code for Adult Day Center) on Wednesday, she had to go straight to Target to pick up a few things. The weather has warmed up a tad bit but Bob is still cold so he still had his coat and gloves on. As they were leaving the store Bob stops right outside exit doors and starts unzipping his coat. Sheri can't imagine what he is doing. She says "What are you doing Bob?" He responds "Just a minute I remembered something." Then "Al" reaches not only under his coat but under his flannel shirt as well, and pulls out 2 six by six inch bags of Cheezit crackers. Now Sheri's heart is racing realizing they are still with in security camera shot and she is feeling slightly dizzy as she takes a quick survey around for security guards and cameras, she grabs the bags from Bob but then thinks it might look worse if she has them, so she shoves them back in his hands. (You would have to know me well to know the fear that set in, in my body.) Sheri leans in close to Bob and in a quiet hushed voice says " Bob, Where did you get these?" "Al" replies in a proud voice " they gave them out and work today and nobody ate these so I took them for you." Sheri took a deep breath and hustled them out to the car.
With a heavy sigh... of relief :)

Thanks for the laugh
ReplyDeleteFear strikes in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteWhen I took care of my mother I kept her dressed in polar fleece so she would stay warm especially when I ran the air conditioner. I remember people telling me what a great job I was doing. I always wondered when they would discover how often I questioned my actions and choices.
You ARE doing a great job. Each day is a milestone - celebrate each one!
