Grandpa Said?

Memory loss is a terrifying and frustrating thing. But, it can also be hilarious.

My mom got a phone call that went something like this:

"Chris, talk to your father. He doesn't recognize me." Then she waited while there was much muffling the phone and shouting about who should hold it.

"Hello?" Grandpa finally barked into the receiver.
"Hi Dad. What's the problem?"
"Who is this woman?"
"It's Mom."
"Is she here to give me a haircut or something?"
"No, it's Mom."
"Is she a nurse?"
"No, she's your wife!"
"Oh, that's a relief!" he sighed. "She was in my bed, but I guess it's all on the up and up."
