A family took their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home
and left her, hoping she would be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a
tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a
window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt sideways in her chair. Two attentive
nurses immediately rushed up to
catch her and straighten her up.
Again she seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt over to her other side. The nurses
rushed back and once more brought her
back upright. This went on all morning.
Later, the family arrived to see how the old
woman was adjusting to her new home.
"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"
"It's pretty nice," she replied.
"Except they won't let me f@rt."
