Mom's 85 years old. She's lived with her "boyfriend" of 50 years (John) for the last seven. This morning, she told me that after I left yesterday, she apparently cut up eight $100 bills of John's and doesn't remember doing it. She'll get the money replaced, because fortunately, she didn't use the damned paper shredder. :rofl
She cut four of the bills in half and the other four in thirds and threw them in the garbage. John went to get his money that he'd locked in the filing cabinet, and it was gone. He, of course, thought the lady who came from senior services to clean the house yesterday took it.
Mom looked in the garbage, and lo 'n behold, she found it there.
Getting old's not for sissies.
OMFG.
Just because you think your parents are doing just fine? You could be wrong.
Any suggestions? Any similar stories?
