One day a family brings their frail, elderly
mother to a nursing home and leaves her,
hoping she will be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed
her a tasty breakfast and set her in a chair
at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seems OK, but after a while she slowly
starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two
attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch
her and straighten her up.
Again she seems OK, but after a while she starts
to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back
and once more bring her back upright. This goes
on all morning.
Later the family arrives to see how the old woman
is adjusting to her new home. So Ma, how is it
here? Are they treating you good?, they ask.
Its pretty nice, she replies. Except they
wont let you fart.
