Well maybe not but she is 96 and still lives in her own home. My mom does odd jobs for her like changing light bulbs, taking out the garbage etc. and she pays my mom line item by line item. $0.50 for changing a light bulb, $15.00 to change hearing aid batteries, $20.00 to mow the yard, $5.00 to deliver juice to her younger sister. The numbers are all across the board.
Saturday she called our house and I answered, all I hear is "MARY, MARY", I reply "nope this is MINDI", and then I hear "MAREEEEEEEEE I CAAAAAAAAAAAN'T HEARRRRRRRR" and then a click............ Apparently that means the hearing aid battery is dead.
So we finished the game we were playing and headed over to her house. The poor lady had been standing by the door since she called because she was afraid she would miss us. So for 20 minutes she just stood there waiting, not knowing if she had even gotten ahold of anyone.
I have always thought she was a little off her rocker and my suspicions where confirmed when she later told my Mom she thought Ben was a nice boy and he was very shy. Hmmmm Ben shy, I don't know about that.
