After an hour of singing at a retirement home, I had a delightful encounter with two ladies. One of them said, “You did such a wonderful job, Felson! You really lifted my spirit.” The other lady nodded in agreement. Then, another lady named Kim rolled over on her walker and chimed in, “You did a wonderful job! But one thing you forgot was to introduce yourself.” I replied, “Ma’am, I introduced myself to everyone!” She looked surprised and said, “Oh, you did? I must have missed it because I was talking to the person next to me. She’s a newbie here.” With a smile, I added, “Well, I could hear you talk about how sexy I am!” Everyone burst into laughter, and Kim turned bright red as she admitted, “Yes, I did say that!”
It’s these funny yet heartwarming moments that make my daily interactions with the elderly so special.
@dashofdonita I’m sorry you have to brave the retirement home ladies on the regular.
