I wonder if I do a lot of “old person” stuff? It’s probably one of those things your kid would have to tell you. Let me explain. After we went to the grocery store, I took Mother to Gateway to pick up her car. She took her small bag of groceries with her and went in to pay and get her keys while I waited in the lot off to the side, To be sure everything worked out okay. I knew I should have gone in with her. A few minutes later, she pulled behind me, blocking me and two other drivers. As the other drivers honked, Mother left her car in the drive and came over to talk to me.
“They just had to fix the front brakes. The back ones were fine! It only cost one hundred twenty-one dollars.” She was beaming.
“That’s great, but you need to move your car. People are honking!”
“Well they’re just gonna have to wait. I have to get my groceries.” She replied, huffily.
“Mother, you already put your bag in the car.”
“Oh, I forgot. Anyway, I had to tell you everything was okay.”
Annoyed at my nerve, she got in her car, pulled out and cut it too short, running over the curb as she pulled out.
About fifteen minutes after I got home, I got a call, “Could you see if I left my phone in your car. I can’t find it, anywhere.”
She had.

Oh, L. I’m giggling 🤭. First, the article. Yes, make it memorable! Secondly, I understand the story with your mom. In those moments, I always hope others think about their aging parents or situations. Yesterday afternoon, my parents asked me if I wanted to ride with them to my niece’s taken show (a fantastic TWO hour show of music and fun by very special needs adults!). Sweet mom ran the curb because she’s too short (Dad can’t drive because he can’t see much anymore) and their two little heads make me say, “awww”. “Mom, I saw you ran the curb and I’m glad you’re ok.” Dad said, “If it knew your mom was driving it would get out of the way.” Lol 😂 last week she almost backed into two people at the cardiologist’s office. I had my talk with them about why I prefer to drive at times lol 😂. So precious.

Oh my gosh. We were saved from having to take Mother’s keys because a deputy busted her. He thought she was drunk at first. I’d love to post it but am afraid she’d get wind of it.
