MrZ is mostly a quiet kid. And my mom is hard of hearing. And yet she often asks questions as she's walking out of a room. Today was "Did I get any mail?" MrZ checks every day after school. "No mail." She didn't understand his answer and continued the conversation she so obviously was having in her head and says "Maybe he hasn't been here yet." And MrZ speaks up, a little louder, "There is no mail today." Just as she's walking back in the room. Why ask if she's leaving the room????
Just one of those weird things I ponder from time to time. After raising kids, grandkids, a few neighbor kids and now great grandkids, you'd think she wouldn't ask questions when she's not looking at anyone.
The other observation I've noticed is she has continual conversations in her head, then comments a random statement about that convo, and sometimes its hard to keep up! I've taken to asking her to repeat or explain what she's talking about because i have no idea where her mind is!
Much more of this health degradation she's having and it will be time for me to move in here. That will be devastating for me because I do not like the same things she does, not the same foods, the same TV shows, and half the time, not the topics she cares to discuss.
Sometimes, MrZ and I escape to the patio to play!
