I Want a Loaf!!

I was visiting my 87 year old Uncle at his Retirement Villa.

Uncle: "I need more food in my room in between meals."

Me: "Sure...like cookies or potato chips?"

Uncle: "No. I want a loaf."

Me: "Umm...not sure what you mean. What kind of loaf?"

Uncle (getting angry) "I WANT A LOAF!!!

Me: " Alright. I'll pick you up a loaf."

(Then I changed the subject.) 😂
 

My Uncle was insinuating that I was acting ridiculous for not knowing exactly what a loaf was.

I told the story to my brother-in-law on New Year's Eve...we were both a bit drunk and got a serious case of the giggles

"I Want a Loaf" became the catchphrase for the evening! lol!
 
Leave it alone.

It’s a lesson in cause and effect that will likely kickoff an endless chain reaction.

It starts with a simple loaf of raisin bread, then there is the butter, a knife, milk, a glass for the milk, a toaster for the bread, an electric outlet for the toaster, a plate, a napkin…

Maybe it’s best to let the old man have his simple dream and move on. 😉🤭😂
 
My Dad would have a hard time finding words toward the end of his life. He would get mad because we didn't know what he meant. It was frustrating for us too. Sometimes, we would get a chuckle out of it, but then feel guilty about it too because he deserved much more respect. Gosh, so many emotions.

They checked my dad when he had gotten a delirium in the car while driving me and my kids and I can't drive, but even in that state he was smarter than me. Shall I drive? Hm no I don't think that's a good idea.

The police brought the kids to grandma and we went to the hospital with an ambulance where a woman checked him. She showed him a pen. Do you know what this is? No. A clock. No. I said: Oh that's normal. He just can't find the word. She was not convinced. Few days later he was back to normal and couldn't remember a thing. In the end he got Alzheimer, but he then also had moments that he all of a sudden understood everything.

Yeah I felt bad for laughing, but it was so funny. He was always so strict with eating. Eat healthy and simple and don't whine. The food is good. Lol and then the male nurse took away his bag of chips that I gave him and he got grumpy and said: Come on now! Give me my chips back! Normally he never ate that. I always gave him icecream. We went to visit the goats. I spoiled him like I spoiled my kids.

A cat on his tummy with paws tucked in is also a loaf.
