Re: Ferri's Stream O'Jokes
So every morning at exactly 9am my 90 yr old neighbour knocks on my door.
He has dementia and always asks if I have seen his Wife?
I feel so bad having to tell him every day that she died 10 years ago.
I keep thinking maybe I shouldn't answer the door or just lie to him but I enjoy seeing the smile on his face as he walks away.

You cannot ‘reason’ with dementia patients, they are off in another world. I gave up trying to tell the truth to mom and instead elected to tell her what she ‘needed’ to hear.Bsuds wrote: ↑Aug 25th, 2023, 2:54 pm So every morning at exactly 9am my 90 yr old neighbour knocks on my door.

Difficult in twisting the reality for me? yes, but if it makes her happy, even momentarily, where’s the harm?
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

A wife said to her husband over breakfast, "I had a dream that you gave me a diamond ring. What do you think that means?"
He answered "You'll find out tonight".
And sure enough, that night he gave her a book entitled "Interpreting Dreams".
