Most of you don't know this, but my mother has lived with me for the past 15 years (long story, nuther time) anyhoo....Mom will be 80 in Feb. She is healthy other than a bit of arthritis and being a big grouch. As with most older folk, she stays cold-natured and is always complaining "I'm Cold!" So me and sis get together and decide that an electric heated throw would be a great gift. Well today she opens it and goes to use it and starts FREAKING OUT because the directions say "Not to be used on quadraplegics". She is ARGUING with my DH that she can't use this thing because SHE is a quadraplegic. Now mind you, this is coming from a woman who was a nurse for 25 years. Ok should I laugh because this is kinda funny or cry because maybe this is a sign of things to come? I am leaning toward the funny side because she came down a flight of stairs to argue that she is a quadraplegic, and I don't know of any quadraplegics that can walk down a flight of stairs. She thought she was a quadraplegic because she has had both her knees replaced. I think I need a glass of wine.
