Rant funny/not funny
Just got a call from the MC phone. Mom is freaking out because everyone is telling her husband that his name is not his name. She is completely totally sure her memory care boyfriend is my father. She was so animated and driving the poor man so crazy they called me to distract her. Spent 1.5 hours trying to get her to change the subject. Apparently she has hidden the family pictures from herself so asking her to look at those didn't work. I read his obituary and thst didn't work. Eventually I said that she better not tell anyone that he's alive because they'd both go to jail or god forbid they put another body in that casket. That worked in the moment, we'll see how this goes.
